Lovely photos! Thanks for sharing.

I did the wildflower trip, did you get to see Wave Rock on your travels? Love Kangaroo paw, have it growing in my garden.

Thanks for the comments! I also love kangaroo paw, but I think it's too cold where I live to grow it. I don't remember seeing Wave Rock, Judy. If you have one, do you mind sharing a photo with us?

Here is a picture of Wave Rock, Western Australia, shaped and formed by weather and water erosion over 2,700 million years.

Wow - I can see why they call it 'wave rock'!

 The coastal regions of Sri Lanka are fairly flat.  Given that and the relatively small size of the island, I was surprised to find impressive peaks (over 2500 m high) at its center.  This is where the country's tea is grown.

 The classic image of the central Hill Country in Sri Lanka is that of its seemingly endless tea plantations -- carefully groomed and well-tended as tea's an important cash crop for this small island.  With the tea comes a small army of tea pickers, or pluckers.
