Coast bound

Robe, South Australia, Australia
We left the Barossa and travelled up through to the Adelaide Hills to Hahndorf,the first German settlement in Australia. It was a bit touristy but some nice colonial buildings and German themed shops. Plenty of identikit Lutheran churches about the area too. We carried on through verdant and pastoral agricultural land until we descended the other side of the hills and found moorland. This continued until we reached the Murray river where we had a picnic lunch. There were Pelicans flying about and dinghy sailors too. As we continued down river we drove along salt marshes and extensive dune lands until we reached Meniengi alongside Lake Albert where an ostrich statue in memory of a local robber is a major tourist attraction. The next town has one too,a giant red lobster called Larry. The next town Robe was our destination for the night and as we walked to a fish restaurant for local calamari and white wine from the town wine cellar we could smell and Hear the sea. For the first time in Oz we had the heater function of the air con working as winter is approaching here.
