Wet, cold and gloomy days on our trip along the limestone coast. But that didn’t stop us from having a blast!

It’s hard to find the motivation to go out sometimes when the weather is poor but there hasn’t been a single time we’ve regretted it. Get out and explore!
Today, Tantanoola Caves comprises an extraordinary display of cave decorations (speleothems) in beautiful shades of pink and brown, coloured by its dolomite base rock. The 'Up and Down Rocks' is a special highlight.

Today’s Windows:
I’ve lost a post from @lightning1999 I can’t find it :’( Will repost it if I can (I dropped the ball badly).
Visit Piccaninnie Ponds, South Australia with me.
These posts take a considerable amount of time and with my return to work, I haven’t been able to fit them in :( I may continue them about once a week if I can.
If you have some favourite places you would like to share while we are all stuck at home, simply post some photos and tag #WorldWindows2020 (tagging me also helps so I can add your Window to the list). Remember, your backyard is exotic to people on the other side of the world (like me).
Today I have dug up an event from March 2006. I was in the south-east of South Australia on a beach where the Piccaninnie Ponds release into the ocean.

The south-east of South Australia is a geologically fascinating area with a combination of Australia’s youngest volcanoes and a limestone landscape full of caves. I’m not going to go into depth about them here (plenty of time for that later), but I will mention that the limestone that underlies the area transports water in the form of springs. Piccaninnie Ponds is one such major spring. It is a world famous dive site and an important karst wetland.
But anyway, funnily enough that isn’t what this post is about.
This is about me arriving on the beach where the wetlands drain to the sea at about 5pm towards the end of March 2006.
This is what the beach looks like during the middle of the day (this photo is from my most recent visit in October 2018).
The water in the foreground is fresh water gushing into the ocean from the springs.
In 2006 we were on our way back from Nelson, Victoria, just over the border (this beach is the last bit of South Australian beach before you hit the border) and we stopped to walk on the beach (one of my favourite activities). I took one look at the sky and decided we were staying for sunset (approximately three hours away...yes, my hubby is the most patient man on the planet). I am so glad we did.
This is where the springs emoerge from the bushland.
I got somewhat fascinated by the light on the water.
