South Australia

Alan and I are enjoying a holiday in South Australia. We started off from Sydneynwhen all the flooding was happening, so had to get to Adelaide the long way to avoid Wagga, Forbes, and Shepparton in Victoria.
We have been talking about going to the Adelaide Festival for years and as he had some Canadians doing a non simultaneous exchange, it was the perfect time to go. We booked everything online and went to see some fantastic performance, including one at the Zoo!
The weather was hot and fair, except for a memorable downpour and electrical storm as we were having dinner in the caravan park.
Since leaving Adelaide, we have followed the coast and have been enjoying some isolated camping, which has been just so relaxing and refreshing. We spent two nights at the Coorong, which is looking pretty healthy again after the recent flows down the Murray. For those of you who have been there with us before, it is so much better, but yes, there are still lots of centerpedes which get into everything. We crossed to the ocean beach at Tea Tree Crossing, which involved a long water crossing and then up and over the dunes. Alan tried fishing off the beach with no luck.
We spent last night at Little Dip Conservation Park near Robe. The weather was wild with gale force winds and bucketing rain. Stronger winds were forecast for today, so we moved away from the coast to Naracoorte. The wind has dropped but so has the temperature.
We will probably head out of South Australia into Victoria and the Murray tomorrow and plan to be back in Sydney by next Tuesday.
I love being retired!
