Vendredi aprèm on quitte donc Adelaide pour se diriger tranquillement à Melbourne, par le chemin des écoliers. On prend le freeway mais rapidement on sort, des panneaux touristiques indiquent des points d'intérets. On sort pour aller sur Adelaide Hills, les collines qui dominent la ville.

The last few years I have been trying to do something a little different to celebrate my birthday, in 2005 it was rock climbing, last year an assault on the Fringe Festival this year I decided to put a line through another thing I have been meaning to do forever. So Ruth and I packed a bag and headed up into the hills no more than an hour from home to visit a place called Warrawong, its a fully enclosed feral proof animal sanctuary in the Adelaide Hills and has an excellent supply of rare native animals. We arrived in the late afternoon and checked into a nifty little eco cabin that sleeps about 20 and then went for a walk around the sanctuary, it was exciting when we saw our first Betong, hiding under wooden ... read more
