Adelaide #1

Left "the Hill" on Sunday down the Barrier Highway and stayed at the small town of Yunta.
morning teatime on Tuesday saw us in Jamestown so we called into the local  bakery where they had vanilla slices that you couldn't jump over. I remarked on the size, but chose an apple scroll which was beautiful. We were halfway through it when the proprietess presented us with a vanilla slice in a container. WHAT A SPIRIT!!
Then onto Peterborough, a nice little town which is really RV friendly.
In the afternoon we went on a guided tour of  Steamtown, which has grown out of former major railway facility. We returned that evening for a sound and light show which was really excellent
On Tuesday we pressed on to our destination which was Dry Creek, an inner northern industrial suburb of  Adelaide where the mechanic is situated. Just opposite is a former transport co. yard where we are now camped. It's really convenient having the railway 2 minutes walk away and this afternoon we took the 20 minute ride into the city and rode round on a free sightseeing bus
Can't believe all the parks, gardens and layout of Adelaide and we are looking forward to beginning to look more closely
But first tomorrow, Bruce, (the mechanic) will assess the bus and decide whether to do something with it or leave well enough alone.
