In the absence of anything else exciting, I'll continue with Day 2, of our South Australia trip back at the beginning of the month. After lunch at the local fish and chip cafe, with Ben and Heather(who are respectively 86 and 82 now and looking amazingly fit), we set off for Hahndorf.
I couldn't believe the contrast in the countryside compared with our visit last year. Last year,(see above),it had been lush and green and very English looking. This year, there has been no rain for months and we passed miles and miles of baking-in-the hot-sun hayfields. I was fascinated with the hay bales- in Queensland they are just rectangular blocks.. I loved the rolled versions:)


As we drove, the temperature rose and rose. - from 35 down at the beach to 45 up in Hahndorf!!! It stayed that way for the entire 3 days, falling only to about 35 at night.:( ( we stayed sane and cool by visiting the wine cellars and lolling about in our friend's, the Greenie's, pool. ( No photos of THAT! heheh)

We arrived in time for one of Lynn's fabulous dinners!
