Took the family to Bonython Park Playground, Adelaide, South Australia. It was a very hot day, and as soon as I opened my car door this beautiful little guy let himself inside. Bonython Park is very close to the River Torrens and the park itself has numerous tall Gum Trees and gardens. Information came from: http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...
