14th May - 4th June
Our first port of call in Oz was to stay with some friends of ours, Dick and Kelly, at their house in the Adelaide Hills. It was fantastic to see them after 4 years since they emigrated from the UK. We had a brilliant time with them and their little boy, Adam. Sorry to be leaving here. Dick and Kelly showed us around Adelaide and the Fleurieu Peninsula - we visited Cleland Wildlife Park, where we fed the kangeroos and wallerbies (or 'wobblies' as Adam called them); two fantastic beaches, Maslin and Willunga; and dragged poor Dick and Kelly around Adelaide looking for a car for us to buy. Rob and I also explored The Coorong, a great birdwatching area, where we saw wild emus; and Waterfall Gully which was a lovely walk. It's a beautiful part of Oz and we could see why Dick and Kelly love it so much. Their house is in a gorgeous area with fab views. The recent hot tub was an added bonus! Thank you Dick and Kelly for such a geat time!
