Beautiful Robe
3/11 We loaded up all loose items once again and took off for a little place called Tailem Bend only 110km away. Once there, on the spur of the moment, we decided to push on to Robe. This is another 235km further south. The road south was interesting as it travels along the Coorong which … Continue reading
Some more McLaren notes
This morning we decided to revisit Willunga which is only a few kilometers away. The Saturday market was in full swing when we arrived, but very crowded. After looking around we decided to have a coffee and croissant at the Café Terre, a coffee shop styled on the old world French look and feel. This … Continue reading
Exploring the Fleurieu Peninsula
End of October; what better way to spend it than touring the Fleurieu. We left our scenic caravan park and headed off to the town of Victor Harbor. Along the way we drove through Willunga, a charming old style town with lots of cafes and a market. We did return the next day to sample … Continue reading
The first days at McLaren Vale
The Vale is a part of the Fleurieu Peninsula south of Adelaide. We decided to explore the Adelaide beaches as we had never been there on previous visits to Adelaide. We picked Brighton and Glenelg as they are beautiful sea-side suburbs. Brighton is really neat and green and has lovely homes with great gardens. The … Continue reading

Off to Port Vincent and Surrounds
Unfortunately we had to move from Point Turton as it was booked out. I love this place and we will come back here some time. It is in a very relaxing setting.

Off to Clare Valley
Packed up and drove some 400km to the Clare Valley to do some serious wine tasting. We have been to a number of wine regions before, but never to the Clare. We drove via Renmark and Kapunda, much of which follows the flow of the Murray. We were surprised by how fertile the region is … Continue reading
