Adelaide

Don't know about you, but I associate Barossa Valley with Adelaide. So day one was a visit to Barossa Valley and a few wineries


And while at a winery, one must have a wine tasting (driver excluded of course). We sampled a series of wines and the suggested serving options of foods - all available from the supermarket.



On our return trip we took in the "whispering wall" where whispers are carried from one end of a dam wall to the other.


Above is where I whispered from and below, Bruce and Helen are about to reach their end of the whispering wall. It truly is amazing how clearly the whispers are transmitted and how audible they become.



A small German town near Adelaide is Hahndorf


We visited here spending time wandering through the main street,


sampling some genuine German foods,


and doing a spot of shopping


On the way back to Adelaide we called in to Mt Lofty where we had a coffee and took in the view





At camp we once again had the company of people friendly bird life


And on Friday 11th January we said farewell to Bruce and Helen and shared a final meal with them at Adelaide airport
