Lake Alexandrina

The weather wasn't so kind today and it was all a bit dull.  We drove up to  Mount John first of all and had a coffee there - some good views from the top (see extras).  Minimal light pollution here provides good conditions for observing the night skies and several astronomical institutions from around the world operate the telescope domes.
