Adelaide

Monday, Mar. 23

#### Adelaide ####

Washing and laundry, to begin with, then off to get the shock absorbers replaced in the camper trailer. That evening, we had arranged to catch up with our old mate Glen (another ex-pat Darwinite) so we forwent dinner and caught a taxi through Adelaide to Glen’s local for bar snacks and a catch up.

We wanted to visit the Beerenberg Factory in Handorf as well as catch up with Harry’s mum Nancy while in Adelaide. As time was short, we decided to combine both. After picking Nancy up, we headed for the hills to Handorf for lunch and a tour of Beerenberg. We all went wild with the selection of jams, sauces and preserves and had to force ourselves to leave some stuff for others to purchase.

After returning Nancy and a year’s supplies home, Sally and I prepared to visit Glen and Georgie (more Darwin ex-pats), where Glen played Grand Master Chef, Roast Dinner, to our delight.

Our last day in Adelaide was mainly spent in preparations for our trip to Cooper Pedy. Groceries and supplies along with a second spare for the car. The Oodnadatta Track’s reputation is not one to be taken lightly.
After this was completed we set off to visit my cousin Leonie for dinner. This time it was Grand Master Chef, Nick, who prepared and excellent lamb shank dinner. We were joined by my auntie, Lois and Nick and Leonie’s daughter Jessica and her new husband Pete.
