Day 30
Wed 03 Jan. Port Adelaide SA
January 3 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
We left Perth on New Year's Day flight to Adelaide and enjoyed the lounge and the food and wine on the way. It will be hard going back to Economy 😭.

Staying in Port Adelaide about 30 minutes away from the city and this time we have a lovely apartment with a view of the harbour .

Joy has started her South Australia clothing budget already! I planned to start on mine today but failed so retired to Pirate Life brewery, which is a lovely place to sit out with a cold beer. Only the second day here but we were already recognised 😁 and then found out it was Free Beer Wednesday so what could we do but take advantage of their kind offer. Joy did her best but I had to assist.Read more

Day 12
Port Adelaide
October 30, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 19 °C
per ÖV fuhren wir in den Norden der Stadt. Ich denke, es ist erwähnenswert, wie freundlich und zuvorkommend die hiesigen Busfahrer sind. Einige scheinen zwar verkannte Rallyfahrer zu sein 😃. Alle Passagiere verabschieden sich jedoch bei den Fahrern und bedanken sich für die Reise. Nicht selten kommt es vor, dass jemand angerannt kommt, obwohl sich der Bus bereits in Bewegung gesetzt hat - kein Problem, der Driver hält an und öffnet die Tür.
Wir stiegen an der Endstation, Port Adelaide aus und erkundeten zu Fuss die Umgebung.
Später mussten wir uns aber auf die "Arbeit" konzentrieren, schliesslich mussten wir noch allerhand für unsere Reise mit dem Campervan einkaufen.Read more

Day 19
The Carrick
July 3 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
So this is the Carrick.....venue of many happy lunches with Douglas Glenn back in the day on the Clyde.....then towed to Irvine so that the maritime museum could staple bin bags all over it and use it as a job creation scheme and then threaten to burn it. Now renamed as Spirit of Adelaide and being conserved (well a bit....) by a group of enthusiasts in Port AdelaideRead more

Day 182
Port Adelaide
May 3, 2023 in Australia
Awesome day at the Port Adelaide Maritime Museum. They had a ketch (small flat bottomed sailing ship) for the kids to play on and so many interactive exhibits.

Really loved the basement showing the different types of berths in ships through the ages that you could climb into and listen to accounts of real diaries from travellers from the Clipper ships to the first stream voyages, traveling from the UK to Australia!

Then we went to see one of the only 2 remaining Clipper ships left in the world; the 'City of Adelaide' (other one is the Cutty Sark) and had a guided tour to learn about the journey people took for 3 months as migrants moving from the UK to South Australia in the late 1800s.....Read more

Day 188
South Australia Train Museum
May 9, 2023 in Australia
Another fun day out at Port Adelaide Train Museum! Amazing to walk through history and see all the different carriages set up.

The 'Tea and Coffee' run that went from Port Augusta to Kalgoorlie across the Nullarbor was amazing to learn about. Delivering essentials to people who lived in such remote areas!!!

Great simulator for the kids, a train ride and a model railway with an eye spy game!

All followed by a nice lunch out and the kids enjoying the novelty of library books for the first time in a while 🤣Read more
