St Johns

We stayed in the Kapunda caravan park for 5 nights. Mostly Jamie worked and I toured the area. Lots of beautiful scenery, but very overcast and wet. Both Kapunda and Barossa have an interesting history and beautiful old buildings. Of course their were wineries visited and lots of local produce bought. Not just wine 🍷…….but food as well. 🫒🧀the Museum’s and displays on Kapunda history very interesting especially those about the founders and early settlers of the region.
Wines purchased from Kalleske wines, Henty farm and First drop (very limited storage!)
I had a lovely visit to Maggie Beer’s Pheasant farm. Lots of purchases followed by a visit to a shop that sold lots of local produce.
A trip to Seppeltsfield was also amazing. Lots of history,artisans at work and a shop that sells beauty products made from olive oil.
On our first night we went out to dinner with Cath and Andrew to a great pub. The Uraidla pub was beautifully restored and food and wine divine. It was so lovely to see Cath and Andrew after, we think, about 15 years. Thanks guys for dropping everything and booking dinner. It felt more like we caught up last week not 15 years ago.

We also had dinner at the Greenock Pub. So cozy and great food.

In Kapunda I went down the street each day and had coffee and visited Coopers Fresh, to buy fresh fruit and veg, sourdough bread and other local goodies. Hopefully we have enough yummy things to jazz up our outback meals. Onto the Clare Valley but we forgot it’s a long weekend. We managed to find a powered site (for the heater) in Yacka about 30 mins from Clare.Read more
