Adelaide and surrounds

Traumatic trip from Gawler back out to the Hapibuss and its contents at The Gap. The car navigation system decided it wanted to take me along every dirt back road on the peninsular and after several attempts and quite a lot of extra time I decided I'd bite the bullet, take the back roads and never be seen again. I arrived 2 hours later than expected - but I arrived!

Beautiful overnight stray before heading back to brown Creek Hill for another visit via the Graves family. During the 3 nights stay in suburbia doing the usual washing of clothes and bodies we did another trip up to Hahndorf for lunch - lovely time-out turned wet at the end.

Unfortunately there is now a pause to the pink gumboots travels. A family member took I'll and had to do a spell in hospital for 9 days so in true mum fashion I put the gumboots in the cupboard and boarded a plane to Alice springs flew to assist with the grandchildren for a week, fabulous to see all those wonderful smiling faces and get lots of missed hugs that I had not expected at that time. Is it inappropriate to say thanks for getting sick?

Don soldiered on and headed off to Point Malcolm and the only freshwater lighthouse in the southern hemisphere at Lake Alexandrina near Meningie in South Oz. He is not the most techno savvy being and so while exploring the area around the campsite forgot to push the button on the camera so consequently there are no photos of the said lighthouse but please enjoy the view.

Lighthouse? What lighthouse?

See Mt Barker the bump in the distance 

I am sure you are all wondering about the health outcome of the family member…. All is well, some fatigue but recovering.

Back to the HAPIBUS for the next 2 weeks then back up for the scheduled hugs!
