<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" There is plenty of free entertainment on the streets these days. With the ‘Fringe’ being such an unstructured free for all there are plenty of artists setting up on street corners and performing their art. This guy was part of a Spanish group who set themselves up just outside the Garden … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Ben Mellor’s performance of Anthropoetry at the Fringe was a real delight. I must confess I am not into reading poetry but when someone else is performing it to me, and they do it well, I really love it! We are not talking about a tame recital here but a lively … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The Adelaide Fringe festival is an amazing experience that is worth coming to Adelaide to be involved with. The other night we decided to take a stroll through the Garden of Unearthly Delights, have a bit of a look around, grab something to eat and plan our next show experience. Of … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Even though we have had a good supply of water this summer our Torrens river has stopped flowing. Even the recent good summer rains we have experienced were not able to bring the water level up to where is would resume its flow out to sea. This image taken from the … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Brittle stars are nocturnal and very timid and although very common are almost never seen during the day.

More than two hours underwater down at Rapid Bay presented so many photo opportunities. The only problem was being stuck with one lens configuration, a 100mm macro. During this dive I could have used a wide angle 15mm fish eye … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" So why does such a beautiful creature so common to our local jetties have such a hard to produce name such as Ceratosoma brevicaudatum? You could just call it a nudibranch or even a seaslug but these are as vague as calling all dogs, dogs. There are of course many answers … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Port Hughes jetty was a welcome respite to a blown out Edithburgh. Shallow, gentle, plenty of fish action and then there were the jellies! Hundreds of them floating past in the gentle current. Fortunately these guys had no sting, at least none I was aware of even as several of them … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Edithburgh is not always a pretty dive! This night dive with Ken, Damian, Alistair and Alexius was more like swimming through breakfast cereal in a washing machine than the pleasant gentle experiences I normally associated with Edithburgh Jetty. Still we all took down our macro gear in the hope we would … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" There’s a bit of action down at Rapid Bay at the moment. It seems that spider crabs are pairing off to do their thing.
