Here are some pictures from a couple weeks ago - a walk through a pine planation in Second Valley. South Australia doesn't have any natural pine forests, so this is the closest we get to a heavily wooded area. We had lunch near the Ingallala Waterfalls and a ruin.
After walking around and through the pine plantation for three or so hours, we headed further down the road to Starfish Hill (just before you reach Cape Jervis). The attraction here is the impressive wind turbines. Located in this windy area, overlooking the coast, are some two dozen wind turbines. Some people find them an eye-sore but I thought they looked sleek, almost elegant. Each turbine is 68m high with a rotor that is 64m in diameter. A rotor completes one revolution in a few seconds and makes a low-pitched whoosh sound.
