RE: Heysen Trail Part 1 _ Spalding to Hallett

The poor noodle did come out a bit early. I wonder if those sudden warm days woke it up (were they around this time?) I'm rather fond of "nope rope" and "danger noodle". Aussies sure have some fun names for deadly creatures.

Off to look up what the Bundaleer Channel is for, now.

Sort:  

It was a pretty warm day back when I set off

The alternative names for animals are gold...

There's others like Land Cloud (Sheep) or Pantless Thunder Goose (Ostrich)

Search 'The Internet Names Animals' for more. Some are pretty lame, others hilarious 😆


The official site for Spalding (!?) has a bit about the history of the channel. I find it interesting. Don't see many open channels built any more. When it comes to water infrastructure, we live in the age of the pipe

Which is reasonable. They do make a lot more sense though, have to admit 🙂

There is something cool about channels. It's like an ancient aqueduct...

Here's a link
