These photographs showcase areas of Granite Island that were not included in my earlier publications. The striking red mosses adorning the granite rocks are a distinctive and captivating feature of the island’s natural landscape. Granite Island, located just off the coast of Victor Harbor in South Australia, is famed for its extensive granite outcrops formed millions of years ago, which have shaped its unique terrain and ecosystem. The island boasts a rich history, having been inhabited by the Ngarrindjeri people for thousands of years before European settlement, and today serves as a protected reserve supporting diverse native flora and fauna, including the well-known little penguin colony. I find great enjoyment and solace in experiencing the island’s remarkable natural beauty and the opportunity to immerse myself in its serene environment.

DeleteBohuslän in Southern Sweden is famous for it's granite. Filled with history, from Lysekil all the way in to Norway. Yet to visit, but it is on my very long list of places to visit.
ReplyDeleteYou do have a long list too lol
DeleteThis is a wonderful place, with several very unusual rocks. I hope the government keeps it natural and leaves it alone.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ginny
Delete...a beautiful spot.
ReplyDeleteEsos musgos rojos a primera vista parece que la roca tiene un alto contenido en oxido de hierro.
ReplyDelete¿ Cuantas olas habrán golpeado esas rocas para darlas esa peculiar forma?.
