After leaving Murray Bridge we travelled to Meningie where we stopped (again) at the bakery for coffee and a pastie as the weather is really cool. Then onto Kingston through the Coorong area. Kingston is known for its fresh lobsters. People travel hours to come and get their fresh lobster. We met a couple that had done just that and then were going to pay $150 for a 2kg fresh lobster to take home! Kingston also had a lovely bakery and Al decided we would be ...

Last night we went into Murray Bridge for dinner at the Bridgeport Hotel. We had a lovely dinner and really enjoyed our rare night out. Today we drove to Mannum which is about 35km from Murray Bridge, just for the day. We walked the main street and the foreshore and got a feel for the place talking to locals. The Murray River is the focal point of this place and there are huge houseboats for hire called 'unforgettable'. There was one bloke fishing but all he...

Boy was I glad to get out of Adelaide. Too much traffic for my liking, I think I have developed an aversion to cities.

It has tree lined streets that canopy the road, some of them jacarandas in bloom. There are lots of unusual little shops to explore and german beers and bubs everywhere, as well as german sausages!! We couldnt find anywhe...

We woke this morning in Ardrossan to a wonderfully sunny calm day but had already arranged our move onto Adelaide. Lovely weather all day today. We booked into a park about 20km from the city. It is a really big park, quite nice and we have a great spot. I did the washing and then we caught up with Trevor, our friend from Carnarvon bowls. It was good to see him again. Allen and Trevor set about fixing the kitchen sink and after a bit of man power, succeeded...

After a lovely day tripping through a few towns on the Yorke Penninsula, we settled for Ardrossan to stay for the night. Allen decided to go to the jetty and drop a few crab nets to try his luck. It was freezing so he rugged up and off he went. He was gone for hours but eventually returned home about 11pm with about a dozen crabs! He was one happy chappy! Needless to say, this is not an overnight stay now, it has turned into at least a 3 day stay.
