Latest Weather Observations for the Adelaide Area

We live just east of Haighs. No wind in this area which means it’s a sea coastal thing. Looks nice out my bedroom window. Tomorrow will be perfect. Next day it will be too hot.

Yep, blowing a gale for my morning beach walk today! At least it wasn't raining.

Just remember there is a Haighs just near the Hilton as well.

Indeed. But there is just so much indulgence in the GHR one!

After driving around for an hour and learning all sort of useful facts about Adelaide, we have just stopped for a stretch at the Adelaide Himeji Garden.

When a Tasmanian wears a jacket it is bl***y cold.
Meanwhile back at the IC and we have just got dressed.

Haigh’s had some good chocolates on offer, however a little too expensive for my liking!

And now at Mt Lofty. Peter the driver is a font of local knowledge befitting his prior role as a history teacher.

Now I know what all that noise was I could hear from my place below.

Now it's lunchtime before afternoon tours. The morning bus trip was perfectly organised, thanks Jess.

He knew his history and looked after us very well.

That was careless!

Whoops

Say hi to Gary for me!

Who? Isn't the bus is still waiting for him at the Shangri-La Cairns?

Nice photos - good to live vicariously.

I'm about to go to something called an "Australian BBQ" with the AFP contingent and associated cronies up here in SIN... Better be on my best behavior
