It's not very nice packing up in the rain so it was nice to wake up with no pitter-patter on the roof. Although moving house with a van when it's all wet, is nowhere near as bad as doing it with a tent, especially if you're also carrying a pack and rifle. So with breakfast under our belts we packed up and were on the road at 8:20am.
We stopped in Orroroo for mornos and as it was raining we didn't go wandering and had coffee and cake in the van. The wander was left till we reached Jamestown which was well worth the wait. What a lovely little town; and it looked busy too. And yes, the bakery has great potato and egg & bacon pies, and vanilla slices.
Arrived at Clare about 1:45pm and were quickly set up. This park is a great van park, with nice big sites, clean facilities and even pizza ovens in the common BBQ area. Oh, and a jumping pillow for Greg.
Had a quick cuppa and leftover vanilla slice (Jamestown bakery) followed by grocery shopping at Woollies.
Clare, for those none vino drinkers, is a wine producing valley (since 1851) 93 km north of the Barossa Valley and 145 km north of Adelaide. It is known for its rather good reds (Shiraz & Cab Sav) and whites (Riesling) hence one reason for our stopover. There are about 40 cellar doors in the Valley so plenty to choose from.
Paleo fish cakes & greens for dinner washed
down with some wine from just up the road.
