[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took a walk with my kids at Morialta Conservation Park last week. Because of our lack of rain the waterfall that I used to visit was dry. However besides capturing some nice images of some Koala’s I also captured this one of a butterfly. I have tried to identify it but it is really difficult so if anyone of my TN friends knows what it is I would love to include the information.

Update: Kindly Michal has identified the Butterfly as Monarch (Danaus plexippus).

Morialta Conservation Park is located 10 km northeast of the Adelaide GPO in South Australia. The park covers an area of 533 ha and is joined to Black Hill Conservation Park to the north by Fifth Creek and Montacute Road.

The suburb of Rostrevor adjoins the western boundary of the park while agricultural and quarrying activity occurs along the eastern boundary. The southern boundary is partly defined by the ridge which carries the Norton Summit Road.

Morialta Conservation Park conserves spectacular rugged ridge, gully scenery and three waterfalls. The Morialta Gorge, including the Fourth Creek and its three waterfalls, has been a public reserve since 1915 and continues to delight visitors with its spectacular rugged vistas. The park offers superb bushwalking opportunities, just minutes from the urban fringe.
Cheers,
Debbie
