After we left the caravan park we visited my old Ryan chum Juanita and her little girl Valentina just down the road. She is doing well and enjoying her time in South Australia. Took off from there through Williamstown to the Whispering Wall at the Barossa Dam. Amazing. You can talk really quietly and the people over 100 m away can hear you quite loudly.
Then we went to the giant rocking horse at Gumeracha.
Next was the place Jeff had been waiting for for the whole trip - the Melba Chocolate Factory where they make inch liquorice blocks. Jeff's favourites. Bought far too many sweets - 20 liquorice blocks for a start! Then to the cordial factory for a cordial topup. Not my normal brand but the oldest cordial manufacturers in Australia. We'll see how they compare. Bought pies for lunch and ate them there.
We drove through Harndorf - up and down the Main Street but it was far too crowded to even try to find a parking spot so we headed off to Victor Harbour - the Rosebud of SA. People everywhere, fairgrounds, horse driven trams, fairy floss, the lot.
Next we went to Middleton to see cousins Hughie and Liz's new house they are building after pulling down their holiday shack. This is where they are planning to retire to.
And the beach just down the street.
We decided to go to a free camp at Langhorne Creek. Settled in for a quiet night.
