Adelaide

We breezed into Adelaide from Auburn an easy yet uneventful drive. Stopped for morning tea at Gawler, checked our e-mails etc there as well, couple of  phone calls and onwards. We hadn't definitely planned to stay in Adelaide but the Adelaide Shores caravan park at West Beach, has a great record of prizes and awards, so I wanted to see for myself. It's not hard to see why that is the case. This park is worthy of your consideration in every aspect. Need I say more?
On our way in to Adelaide, the GPS took a coniption and refused to load a new destination. Fortunately, I remembered that Military road runs into Old Port road ,from my DECA days there and the park is on military road, no problem...
Next morning off to Murray Bridge, and further South, past Culburra where we had our first bush camping experience. Pushing on through Bordertown and called in to Serviceton. Once the main change-over point between vic and s.a.as far as rail was concerned. The majestic station is still there and open for guided tours (free) by a very enthusiastic local, Ron.The station is built on 3 levels and consists of about 15 main rooms and about the same number of fire places. A magnificent building built in the 1880's and still looking quite good, but of course, a lot more work has to be done. We toured from the upstairs residence down to the dungeons and morgue, yes morgue.. Wow..
We stayed about 1klm out at the rec reserve, power and toilets showers and QUIET, although another two vans pulled in after we did. We were glad to be off the road and out of the wind as it hadn't been a good day, travel wise.

The wind died down and next morning we were gone, on our way East through Horsham, Stawell, Navarre and on to Avoca. Checked in for two nights as this place has a certain attraction. As does a lot of this area.Yesterday, we got going a little later than usual, for no particular reason other than we can. Through Maryborough, Bendigo and to Echuca Moama. Circle done, well sort of!!
