This was the day we unfortunately had to get on with the travelling. After packing and hitching up the van we sat down at the ‘Chill-out’ café for the last time we took off for Adelaide and then further south to the McLaren Vale. The ‘McLaren Vale lakeside’ caravan park is a beaute of a spot set in the Vale amongst vineyards a few hundred meters from the town of McLaren Vale. The local Coles supermarket is less than 500 meters away, good for the campers.
The trip through Adelaide was a pain in a certain part of my anatomy and took an hour. Just as well I do not have to do this on a weekly basis. Along the way we came through a bush fire in its early stages. This unfortunately developed into a major grass fire that closed the road and also claimed the life of a fire-fighter. Soo sad!
