We had a little bit of a slow start to the day but once we got going we headed towards Mount Lofty. I was surprised how close it was to Echunga, just one stop on the freeway. We parked up in the Mount Lofty car park and walked up to the summit to see amazing views of Adelaide and the surrounding areas. Just like when I went to New York it has one of those maps where you can pick out significant landmarks across the horizon but I think it as a bit too overcast t...

I have been on the farm for over 2 months now and things are going well. I will admit though that I am starting to get a little bored so have had to entertain myself by thinking of free things to do in and around the area lol.

I left Waikerie in disgust after the farm didn't pay us for our two weeks work and arrived in Glenelg late evening, which is a suburb of Adelaide. Glenelg is the beach area of Adelaide and the hostel I am staying in is an old 19th century house. It sort of reminded me of Kensington in London from the outside and both Anna and I were amazed at the big open fireplaces and massive mirrors in the dorm rooms. We did arrive kind of late and realised pretty quickly it ...
