We had a wonderful holiday to South Australia in June. We caught the Spirit Ferry and travelled to visit Auntie Linda, Tim and Claire, then went up to Horsham for the night. From Horsham via Lorquon and then to Adelaide. We spent a lovely time in Adelaide and Middleton, in spite of Influenza A which unfortunately knocked our hosts off their feet. Then off to Camperdown and Pomborneit for a couple of days on our way back to the Spirit. I took over 1000 photos but will only put a few on the blog.
