THURSDAY – BACK TO ADELAIDE



As you will have noticed, there was no blog last night following our very pleasant day doing a wine tour. We now have several dozen bottles to show for all the effort we put into tasting wines yesterday. It was very pleasant, not only from the wine tasting perspective, but also from the interest perspective in that we learnt a lot about the Barossa Valley and its wineries. It all looks very healthy although the media is talking about how the wine grape growers are struggling to cover costs.
 
 

We have now returned to Adelaide, this time staying in the Adelaide Caravan Park on the Torrens very close to the city centre. We spent this afternoon walking the very pleasant paths along the river between here and the city, ending up having a quick look at the Adelaide Oval.



Where we are, the river is little more than a creek but there is a weir downstream of the city which enables the city reaches to be quite picturesque. When we were here for the golf, we saw where it would enter the sea if ever there was sufficient flow in it to get that far. At the moment, it is a sandbar.
