House on the Rock

Today we headed out of Adelaide towards Mt Gambier. We detoured via Coonalpyn to see if we could find the "House on the Rock" where Gary's maternal Grandfather (Percy Angel) and his 13 siblings grew up. Surprise, surprise after bailing up a couple of local farmers we were able to actually find the remains of the house literally on the side of a rock along Kangaroo Flat Road. One of the young farmers had a keen interest in the Angels and their history so we have arranged to send him an extract from the history written by Janet Angel (dec), the wife of one of Percy's brother's sons. Of course we had to go past the local silos to take in their art offerings. We are staying in a quaint cottage in Mt Gambier for the next couple of days whilst we take in the local sights. Hopefully the weather will be kind and the severe wind warnings won't eventuate!Read more
