The Lighthouses of Robe
Robe’s most famous lighthouse isn’t a lighthouse at all it’s an Obelisk. Built in 1855 with handsome stripes to aid vision it can be seen from 20 kms away. I doubt that it will remain on the cliff forever as … Continue reading The Lighthouses of Robe
Welcome back to the city
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.

Well blow me down
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
Victor Harbour
Victor Harbour in South Australia is a quaint town with pretty paved streets and grand two storey pubs. The horse drawn tram still takes tourists along the causeway to Granite Island. Though there is something new in the bay now, … Continue reading Victor Harbour
