Welcome back to the city

June 10, 2018June 9, 2018 Itching for Hitching

March 2018 Suffering another dose of ‘new town excitement’ we head into Adelaide CBD for a look around, a haircut and lunch. The city is busy and in search of parking we find ourselves in the hip East End. We have an entertaining lunch at East End Cellars. It is a perfect place for lunch with great decor, wine by the glass and tasting plates. The entertainment is freely provided by the passing parade of hip young folk in ill-fitting clothes which leave us guessing as to their gender. I’m still wondering why a woman would buy a pair of … Continue reading Welcome back to the city

One of the great advantages of staying at the Brighton Caravan Park in Adelaide is watching the sun set from the deck of the Seacliff Surf Club next door. We’ve been longing for a good meal of fish and chips … Continue reading Seacliff Surf Club

Brighton Caravan Park

June 7, 2018June 3, 2018 Itching for Hitching

The Brighton Caravan Park in suburban Adelaide has had a chequered history. It is owned by the local council but until recently was run down and full of permanents. The council decided to take a chance on an upgrade and now it is regularly booked out. At the foot of a high cliff the sites are grassy and beside the beach. The all-important amenities are brand new. At night it is peaceful and quiet unlike so many city caravan parks. Continue reading Brighton Caravan Park

Autumn 2018 Just south of Clare in South Australia is the Sevenhills Jesuit Vineyard with its imposing church and somewhat incongruous religious statues dotted amongst the vines and gum trees. In the nearby village we enjoy a quiet drink at … Continue reading Sevenhills

Well blow me down

June 1, 2018May 29, 2018 Itching for Hitching

A few kilometres from Streaky Bay, Elle & El Prado blow or should I say shred a caravan tyre. They ring the RAA and prepare lunch in the van, help promptly arrives before they can barely take a bite. Another reason why all vanners should join their state’s version of RACV Total Care! Continue reading Well blow me down
