A few days in South Australia

We spent 3 days in the Fleurieu Peninsula and stayed in a B+B which was 8 km away from Yankalilla in the Inman Valley. Here are some of the views form our B+B(called Rattleys Cottage at Pear Tree Hollow).

View from B+B

 

Beautiful early morning sky

 

Quilt hanging on the wall of the hosts'cottage

 

Each day we drove around to different places, doing short walks along the beach and in the National parks.

 

Yaccas and stringybark trees in Deep Creek Conservation park

 

These are there to clean our shoes before going into and after leaving the conservation park ( to stop spread of a fungus)

 

 

The start of the Heysen Trail ( the trail goes for 1200km) at Cape Jervis

 

We walked a short distance along the Heysen trail

 

Ferry going to Kangaroo Island (seen in the background) at Cape Jervis

We left the Fleurieu Peninsula and made our way north through the Adelaide Hills to the Barossa.

Our B+B at Greenock in the Barossa. It was the Old Telegraph Station.

 

 

A plaque on a Lutheran church on the Kidman trail in the Barossa. It is in German as many Germans settled in this area years ago.

 

 

 We were going to the Barossa Farmers Markets on the Saturday and nearby was the Barossa Quilt Shop which was also on the agenda. However, it was not to be as we had to head home earlier than planned. We were going to stay on a sheep property in the Clare Valley--- there is always a next time.

 

The weather was very pleasant and both B+Bs had a slow combustion heater which we lit at night, and it kept us snug and warm in the old stone cottages.

 

Take care.
