Day 52. Thursday 8 August 2012

Strike me handsome it's bloody cold down here. All gloved up while I gathered up all the gear and get ready to move down the road to Adelaide. The electricity leads almost refuse to bend, they are like cold chewing gum....they are that stiff from the cold that they feel as if I could just snap them into pieces....Could really not do that but gee they feel like it.

We get under way at the 0830-ish time, but there is no real hurry. We find that the roadway between Broughton and Port Wakefield is very rough and undulating. Once through Wakefield the road becomes a divided highway all the way to Port Adelaide. From there it is a slow stop-start trip through suburbia all the way to Port Willunga (lots of ports in South Aussie).

We arrive at Mary and Phil's at about midday, so the trip was pretty cruise-y. Mary and Phil are both well and they have a 'border'...Alistair,also known as 'Aggie'. Agg has a dog too so it is all very hectic around the joint.

Gerry and Mary hard at it.
