ADELAIDE

We have now had 8 nights in Adelaide at the Brownhill Creek Caravan Park, it is a beautiful city.
As I sit here the sun has broken through the clouds, this park has many, many trees, some of them English and they are spreading and leafy and gorgeous, there is a koala in the trees, it moves from one to another during the nights, you never know where to find him and at the moment the magpies are warbling - beautiful.
Beginning with Mount Lofty we observed how Adelaide was set out and spent the rest of the day exploring.
Once again, as we did in Perth, we made a lot of use of the free public transport system and explored the diversity of the place. One time we had taken a bus to the outskirts, but it was not returning to the city so the driver called another bus and had them wait at a stop so he could catch up and we could change.
Adelaide is a fascinating city, so many beautiful and grand buildings, so much to see and do.
Slap bang in the middle is 'Rundle Mall', it was confronting to look up and see our family name
so many times, aparently this Rundle ancestor was sent from England in 1840 to promote the settlement of the colony that was to be South Australia and was a member of parliament for some time and so features large in the city history.
We spent quite a lot of time in the city, exploring the shops, taking photos, I for one am quite fascinated by this beautiful city.
We visited beaches at Glenelg and walked around in delight, the weather has been cool, so no swimming, but we found a great Japanese eatery.
A trip on the o-bahn was a must after we were told about it, a regular bus is fitted with little horizontal wheels and when it comes to the o-bahn they fit into a groove and away it goes, then when the o-bahn peters out the driver takes control.
Tomorrow we will be moving on to Murray Bridge to link up with brother Peter and Sue who are coming here to attend a wedding and am looking forward to seeing them.
