A happy waitress from Manchester today, a mincing cheeky chappy waiter from Glasgow in Adelaide. A diverse country.
Good place for a rest – even Barbara exhausted the opportunities before too long. It did include the saline Siloam pool – 7x more salty than the sea. Washing – rinse, hang out to dry, second and third rinse in the sharp deluges which followed. What hair driers were invented for.
The weather thus far has been benign spring: coldish in the morning (10C or so), rising to a pleasant early 20C before a sharp decline as it gets dark. Which it does around 6pm, for the next day or so. When it’ll be spring forward an hour – when in UK it’ll be fall back soon.
Lovely spring flowers abound – I’ve declined the offer of an app as I’d forget just as soom as I look away.
Great to see so many public amenities – like toilets, changing rooms and dog poo bags – well maintained. A reminder not to assume all is good – one of the group left his waterproof for a short while when he went to swim: only to spot a car stopping to take it away.
Tomorrow we start the next 4 day segment to Port Campbell, another bustling metropolis of 500 folks. I do like these wee places, though I suspect we’re seeing them on the quiet seasonal shoulder.
