After I camped ahead Adelaide, I entered the city today. At first I drove to the youth hostel and booked a bed for the night, then I had a look around the city. Quite a lovely city, and quite green. Because of the cold of the winter I decided not to go to the beaches but have a walk through the botanical gardens. And through the city center. In the evening I walked to a pub for having some food and one or two beer. What I didn't know was that there was a rugby ga...

The caves are amazing and it is really worthy to take the track to go there. Beside the caves there is a thermal spring as well, with warm water the whole year round. But the thermal pool was a bit disappointing and not what we expected. I don't even know if it had the promised 28°C. But it was j...
