Hi all,
Sorry no update last night, we had no internet signal at the site we stayed at, and the Internet devices we bought in the UK (being told they were brilliant and usable in Australia) DONT WORK.... 3 network who would have it..
Anyway..
Left Victor Harbour in the morning - in the rain, headed into town to have a look around. Not much there. So travelling on up to Mclaren Vale about 44km. Again there was not a lot there so pressed on towards Adelaide. Oh we not only have rain but Hail now..!! Where has the sun gone. We stopped at Glenelg on the edge of Adelaide to have a look around the shops. Trying to sort Internet problem out... Not much sucess.. Had to drive through the centre of Adelaide to get to Gawler. Adelaide is just like London. Too busy and could not live there. Only a visit if needed, which we will have to do to get Bank Account etc sorted. Quickly stopped at Gawler to visit Woolworths to get food for lunch and dinner. Yes Big "W" is like Tesco - does everything. Not a Tesco in sight - dont think they have made it here yet.
Stopped at Hamley Bridge for lunch, then onto Owen and Balaklava eventually stopping at Port Wakefield.
The population of this town is 600, just like a scene out of a western, nobody in sight. The houses were like tin sheds, and the water level was almost at the back doors...
Decided not to stay there so drove to Ardrossan and quickly drove through it. Blink and you miss this one. We then stopped at Pine Point for a cuppa, great views of the typical Aussie back gardens.
Now heading for Port Vincent to find a campsite. Got one that overlooks the sea. Getting very cold now, might have to put the thermals on.
Went for a walk and met a family of pelicans who were begging for food.
No internet and no TV signal tonight - will have to get an early night...............
Still no KANGAROOOOOOOOOOOOOs...
