Adelaide - Kingston Park

We spent one more day in Rapid Head and went to see Deep Creek Conversation Park. It was very disappointing, more like Deep s*** .  When they say only 4WD past this point, they dont joke - we had to use the LOW range 4wd capabilities of the Pathy to get back out.  Those hills are steep. Blowhole Beach wasn't that bad,and gave Graham some casting practice with the new rod (Not called fishing because there are no fish). Never mind, the Rapid Bay was beautiful and we still had fun. 

 

 

 

 

Lidia even found some "pretty things" on the beach

 

 On the way to Adelaide we went to visit McLaren Vale, famous for its Shiraz. But besides Shiraz we found this really nice, and extreamly unusual wine made by Rosemount - Pinot Grigio: blood orange & rosewater and green apple & cucumber.  It's not just wine that are great in this area. The region's beers are making a name for themselves as well. We went to check out two local brewery: Ekhidna and Goodieson.

 

The Ekhindna wines and brewery made nice wines, and their beers set a good standard, but not carton worthy.  One point to mention was their wheat beer, which I found pretty amazing.  I have never before enjoyed a wheat beer, and assumed it was because I didnt like it. But the wheat beer they make, was really quite nice.  I think the secret is in the yeast, which gives the banana/cloves taste to it.  They sold take aways in 500ml bottles which are hand marked.

 

 

 

The Goodieson  Brewery  was Graham's favourite.  Carton and stubby holder worthy.

 

 

The caravan park in Adelaide is by the ocean as well (hurray) and maybe 20min drive from the CBD. We went to tourism info yesterday to check out the local attractions just to find out that there are not that many in Adelaide.  

Lidia has some friends living in Adelaide from Poland so we had some nice home cooked dinner with them.  Today we went to some museums (South Australian Museum was quite good) and just walked around the city.  Not much to report. Tomorrow we are off to Flinders Rangers to escape the Easter rush.....
