The monument is the Tjilbruke Monument, which was created in 1972 by artist John Dowie Date. The plaque at the monument reads: "This landmark is a reminder of the Kaurna Aborigines of the Adelaide Plains. It represents the creator hero Tjilbruke with the body of his nephew Kulultuwi who was slain for killing an emu against tribal law. From the spring on the beach below, Tjilbruke carried his nephew in mourning along the coast to Cape Jervis where he displayed the body to the spirits of the dead on Kangaroo Island. At each of his camps on the way his tears became the springs and water-holes of the Kaurna coastal hunting grounds. The body of Kulultuwi was later lodged in a cave near Rapid Bay. Unveiled by His Excellency the Governor of South Australia Sir Mark Oliphant, K. B. E. on 24th September 1972. This monument was raised by public subscription under the sponsorship of the South Australian museum, the Sunday Mail, and the Aboriginal community of this state. Sculptor John Dowie"

@Tarale@aus.social Fantastic photo! Amazing that you managed to capture it. I am currently reading @drlucyrogers@mastodon.social's book 'Up', and she mentions rainbows like that. I've seen doubles, but never a triple.

@Tarale@aus.social you ever seen a thread on socials and go YES. VERY THIS. and then realise you saw the same rainbow from about 200m away (if that) from your caravan park cabin?

@Tarale@aus.social stunning!! We've been lucky enough to see a bunch of double rainbows from my yard, but I'm yet to get a decent photo of one!

@Tarale@aus.social I've definitely pulled over multiple times to take a picture of a double rainbow ... except once when I was on a train

@Tarale@aus.social you should keep an eye out for local photography competitions, often councils run them and that would go great. Plus they’d probably just love to have permission to use that photo in material about the landmark there too.
