The industrial northwest comes to an abrupt end with Barker inlet, St Kilda Inlet and the mangrove forests heading to the north.

This view from Mt Lofty summit puts it all into perspective.

When I was a little younger I confused mango with mangrove and came to the conclusion we had vast areas of coastline producing gorgeous mango fruit.

I guess I was a little disappointed when I finally understood the difference. Still mangroves have their own special coolness.
