We leave Mt. Barker today and drive the outskirts of Adelaide and head north to the Yorke Peninsula. This weekend they are holding the Clipsal 500 car race so Adelaide city is better avoided, especially towing a 16 foot caravan. It is easy to bypass as David has given us excellent directions so we follow these and before long we are on a fairly deserted highway.
We keep in contact with Jan and Alan who are down south at Edithburgh. They have encountered a few problems with wind and batteries so they will catch up with us sometime soon. They tell us that Wallaroo is a lovely place to stay right on the water but before booking in there we should go to Kadina where there is a fantastic Museum.
The Farm Shed over a century of Australian farming history is on show. The outstanding machinery collection is interpreted through displays covering many aspects of life on the land.
We agree this is a fantastic museum (although the best one we think is in Dubai) and an hour just
Doesn’t do it justice. We have fun in the school house, where Nick feels right at home behind the desk, waving the cane around.
From here we head to the caravan park at Wallaroo but to our disappointment it is full so we are recommended one at Moonta Bay (they will accept dogs) so we are happy.
Moonta is a lovely little town and the caravan park is right on the water. It is probably nicer than the one at Wallaroo so we book in for 2 nights.
We go into town and stock up on supplies for the next couple of days then head back to enjoy a glass of wine while watching the beautiful sunset on the water. This is a beautiful place.
We phone our daughter-in-law Anita in Sydney to wish her a happy birthday before we enjoy a BBQ dinner then to bed.
