Day 17: last full day

Day 17: last full day Saturday 26th February   It was another glorious morning as Matt and Mark set off for their final bike ride of this trip; a 3 hour ride to Mount Lofty. Annabelle and I did the seafront promenade along with, what seemed to be, most of Adelaide! It was Park Run… More

Day 16: Adelaide Hills

Day 16: Adelaide Hills Friday 25th February   It was another beautiful sunny morning and no wind which was lovely. Mark headed out for a bike ride and I headed out for my walk. I did both the left and right hand tracks once down on the promenade. I love taking in all the magnificent… More

Day 15: Back to McLaren Vale

Day 15: Langhorne Creek Thursday 24th February   It was a very windy morning along the Seacliff coast this morning, a strong southerly was blowing but at least it wasn’t too cold. The boys went on a bike ride for a couple of hours and Annabelle and I battled on along the promenade and met… More

Day 14: McLaren Vale

Day 14: McLaren Vale Wednesday 23rd February It was a spectacular morning with no wind, brilliant blue skies and loads of sunshine. The boys went on a two hour bike ride this morning so Annabelle and I left a little bit later and we turned left when we got down to the promenade, heading south. There… More

Day 12 – 13: Seacliff

Day 12 & 13 : Seacliff Monday 21st February: Day 12   Today’s travel from kangaroo Island to Seacliff was rather uneventful. We did notice though the limestone topography extended well up into this part of South Australia and into the Langhorne Creek wine region so we decided then that this might be a new… More

Day 11: Full day on KI

Day 11: Our one full day on KI Sunday 20th February   Sunrise down here isn’t until just before 7 am and so we were, indeed, able to see the beautiful early-morning sunrise colours directly from our bed. Mark didn’t go on a bike ride this morning because we had a long day of driving and… More

Day 10: Kangaroo Island

Day 10: Kangaroo Island Saturday 19th February   There was the most beautiful sunrise this morning and we could view its early progress right from our bed. A glorious morning evolved with sunshine and no wind making ideal, and rather novel, conditions for Mark’s bike ride and for my walk. I headed north first off,… More

Day 9: Victor Harbour

Day 9 Victor Harbour Friday 18th February It was a cool 16°, cloudy and a bit windy for our walk this morning. Quite a contrast from yesterday’s blue skies, warmth and sunshine. The drive to Victor harbour today was about 4 hours and so Mark opted to walk with me instead of taking his usual… More

Day 8: Robe

Day 8: Robe Thursday 17th February The morning was cool and overcast as Mark set off for his morning bike ride and as I said off for my walk. Without a coastline or a river to walk along I chose to just meander through the streets of Penola. Penola is the home of Mary MacKillop… More

Day 7: Coonawarra

Day 7: Coonawarra Wednesday 16th February It was a cloudy morning for a last day in Port Fairy but we both walked out to the Lighthouse, one last time. There was one last breakfast looking out over the lovely gardens and river before setting off for the Coonawarra. We got away just before 10 am… More
