Thursday 28th February 2008, Port Broughton.
A short trip around the area to towns such as Wallaroo, Kadina and Moonta only reinforced the fact that we must return to SA and spend a full summer looking around. These towns mentioned are in what is known as the ‘Copper Triangle’ and as the name suggests was once […]

Wednesday 27th February 2008, Port Broughton.
Port Broughton is a quaint little place, smaller than we had expected. We had a walk around town today, doing my usual thing taking photos. One thing that stood out was the one street we walked along that was lined with small holiday homes, we were looking for the other […]

Ear ache was no problem, possibly an insect bite or something, in fact it is almost better today. There has been no hold-up with our intended move today so we are now in Port Broughton, about 170K north of Adelaide, See Map. We will be here for about 4 days […]

Sunday 24th February 2008, Adelaide.
Possible plan changes: This constantly seems to happen, but more on that shortly.
Linda, K and A went for another bus trip yesterday into the city to visit some museums and art galleries. I chose not to go with them as museums don’t do a great deal for me, especially accompanying Linda […]

Wednesday 20th February 2008, Adelaide.
A little bit of sightseeing was done over the past couple of days. We have seen most of what we did, but for K&A it was all new. Yesterday was a day for catching busses and trams around the area for a bit of a look, and one of the intended […]

Adelaide (Hill Climb)

Saturday 16th February 2008, Adelaide.
A test of my fitness today, or at least lack of it, when I attempted to climb a hill next to the caravan park. I headed for a track that I thought would be the one leading up the hill, thinking that it would zigzag up the hill, only to find […]

We started off the day today with a morning tea provided by the park owners. These are a good function to attend as one gets to meet many of the other campers and swap a few stories.
This was followed by a trip to the caravan and camping show, and the Adelaide […]

Friend Adrian has had his visit to the specialist and the news was all good. About 5 years ago he was diagnosed with having had a heart attack and has been given medication for that condition, and now this specialist says it was not a heart attack but rather he has […]

Back in Adelaide again, ‘tis a nice place Adelaide. We arrived here yesterday and have spent our time so far setting up camp and familiarising Kay and Adrian with Adelaide. They are so far quite liking the area, but they will, hopefully, see a lot more of it over the next […]

Nuriootpa, and plans have changed again.

Friday 8th February 2008, Nuriootpa.
All has come to a head with us three couples travelling together: Kay and Adrian this morning informed Les and Jan that they were not going to the West because after all the maintenance they have gone through lately with car and caravan they could not afford to do the trip, […]
