It's been a while since I updated you on our travels, in fact 19 days since I did a travel diaries esque post. Last time I wrote we were in Coober Pedy and heading south towards Adelaide. Well we got there and we have officially driven the across Australia in both directions. Which is a pretty cool thing to have done I think.
Adelaide was lovely. Actually, wait. South Australia was lovely. It was hilly and green and a beautiful part of Australia that we hadn't really had the chance to take a decent look at previously. We stopped in Coober Pedy, obviously, Port Augusta and Adelaide. All of which were lovely but quite different from one another.
Adelaide was a really nice city, very quiet and mellow compared to a city like Brisbane. It feels a lot older as well, almost like a city back in the UK. It's got a lot of old looking buildings and with it being surrounded by hills it was kind of like being in the UK - apart from the unprecedented 38 degree day that we had there.
The beaches were stunning as well and if you're down there anytime soon I'd highly recommend checking out Henley Beach and grabbing fish and chips from the kiosk. The city is like most other with shops and bars and cafes. We always like to visit the state museums though and we have done in every other capital we've been to so Adelaide was no different. The Museum of South Australia is just a short walk from the city centre and it's worth checking out. It's free to enter and the exhibits are really cool. They also have a nice cafe in the museum which is open 7 days a week.
Adelaide was our last pit stop on our big trip though and then it was back to it. We stopped in at our friends in Goondiwindi on the way back to good ol' Augathella and it was really nice to see them and also see a bit of Australian harvest time. It was all very exciting and felt a little like Christmas was coming - Jack noted.
But now we're back. And still loving it. It's going to be hard to say goodbye soon and we'll definitely miss this lifestyle and all the things we get to put our hands too here. I'm sure we'll be back soon though.
Until next time,
