Keith to Adelaide

We were not the only people who felt the need for more space and comfort than even a good camper could provide. I wonder if they slept for about 12 hours like I did.

Sometimes you just need that little bit extra.

Breakfast at the Bakery was the first thing on the agenda for today. Next to the Keith Bakery is a Butcher’s shop and you can’t miss the animals out the front.

You need to be made of solid stuff in our business.

Only a concrete heart could stand looking at that sign day after day.

After Keith the next sizeable town is Coonalpyn and they are doing a great job of attracting passing trade using artworks. The silos are impossible to miss.

There’s a beautiful mosaic outside the Toilet Blocks.

Artist Mark Tye worked with local volunteers to complete the mosaic.

It took a year to finish the piece.

The tunnel under the railway line has walls covered in pictures painted by a variety of people from little kids to professional artists.

 

Tailem Bend is a town spread out along the main highway and most traffic doesn’t stop but a rhinoceros caught my eye.

The rhinoceros made us stop then we read the advertising material for nearby Monarto Zoo.

The bend in the river which gives the town its name.

The Punt or Car Ferry.

Hundreds, maybe thousands of Corellas were in the trees and on the grass.

So much fun to be had with a light fixture.

“What makes you think we’re up to something?”

Now we’re back home and our short jaunt is over but we’ve visited some new places we intend to revisit, preferably for a longer time. Hope you’ve enjoyed the ride.
