Gather Round

Well, it's been full on Footie here with all round five matches being played in Adelaide .... including Norwood and Mount Barker.  The Swans had a larger crowd at the 'neutral' Oval than they do for their home matches at the SCG! Mount Barker welcomed the Brisbane Lions for the first major AFL game in the Adelaide Hills and did us proud. Crows opening the proceedings with a fabulous unexpected win (and the Port scraped home last night). Clive's off to a double header at the Oval today so it's going to be a long day as our Bunnings BBQ was cancelled due to double booking.

Many visitors to Victor Harbor never venture past Petrel Cove  on the western side of The Bluff , but this is where passengers on The Big Duck are in for a real treat!  West Island  is a Conservation Park , complete with a research hut  used by the universities and park r...

Winter's back at the Port

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday was warm and sunny, today it's back to cold blustery conditions with rain on the way again. I'm so over this weather.... I need sun. Even the dolphins are hiding today. The best part of the day was 3 hours later when the sun finally made an appearance but I was having an afternoon nap and missed it.
