South Australia
Thursday, October 17, 2013
Had a relaxing couple of days in Adelaide. Visited the botanic gardens and took in a couple of museums. The museum of immigration was particularly interesting as it detailed some of the stories of some of Australia's immigrants as well as the effect their arrival had on some already here.
Took a trip down to Geelong on the tram, for a refreshing walk by the sea. Didn't get as far a Brighton, but hit the outskirts of Hove. Refreshing trip apart from the flies. I had forgotten how tenacious they are in Australia. Not like the polite flies in England, these ones are straight in your face, no holes bared.
Now heading inland along the route of the mighty River Murray. Some amazing landscape on the way ranging from some beautiful views in the Adelaide hills to the plains of he river basin. Much hotter inland and even more flies.
