11/10/11 Peery Lake, Paroo - Darling National Park

We travelled 53 km to Peery Lake in the Paroo - Darling National Park. The lake is an interesting ochre colour due to the sediment dissolved in it.  Now that the lake has filled it will hold water for about three years. Water birds are finding a new playground.

We saw several beautifully coloured small lizards.

As we travelled a number of emus crossed our path or ran away as we went by. When they run they bob up and down and they look like a huge feather duster with legs.

On the way back to White Cliffs we saw one very large, and one small, black bearded lizard. We stopped to say:  "Hello! Can we take your photograph?"  They put up their spikes and tried to look very fierce. They did not take their eyes off the camera.
