You didn't happen to come across a friendly bull terrier cross while you were wondering around there?

There had been heavy rain not long before we got there and the tracks north were closed forcing us to camp for a couple of days.
The dog made our camp his home while we were there. He would wonder around town during the day carrying a 20 foot length of PVC storm water pipe. I reckon he thought it was the biggest bone in the world!!

Hey Craig,

 

Just put a bit of rego on the shed dweller for your visit. Probably need to run out the flat spots in the tyres soon.

 

I'll be in touch.

Hi Craig, I'm in SA with the Holden Car Club for the Bay to Birdwood. Yeah they are a nice buch of cars.

 

Awesome!  :spoton:

Cheers Jeff.

Nothing on tomorrow other than getting the car all cleaned up for the drive to the Holden Factory for a tour on Thursday.

What a day!!! The Holden Factory is an amazing place. The way they make the VF leaves you in awe. The robots twist and turn the panels to spot weld them together. The interior is placed in with precision. The lower section of the suspension engine etc, has the body lowered onto it. It's an outstanding operation.

What a massive drive today,
We went from Adelaide to Yankalilla, Second Valley, past Rapid Bay, over to Victor Harbor, Port Elliot for a really late lunch, Goolwa, Mt Compass, back to Adelaide.
