We had a tailwind this time and so we sailed nicely across the Nullabor getting 7.5 kms. to the litre of petrol. So we arrived in Adelaide the capital of SouthAustralia, built along a creek of appr. 2 metres wide called the Torrens River. Adelaide is a city with still some country-atmosphere. They have some interesting artwork in the shopping mall in Adelaide. These pigs don't seem to attract much attention but they do add something special to the place.

Adelaide
So from WA. back home across the Nullabor again. We stayed at the Flinders'Range overnight, a station with thousands of sheep on a property of appr.160 by 80 kms. We also stopped at the Head of Bight, a bay where we counted between 25 and 30 whales some with calves, always a great experience.

These grass trees are doing well in the middle of the city.They are on the square outside the Festival complex.
We travelled around the city on public transport so neither of us got stressed and we could have a good look around.A fellow traveller took this shot for us while we were on the tram.
This bus is going along the "Obahn" -a specially constructed track on which busses travel very fast.There were lots of people using it because you can get to the city from the suburbs in about 15 minutes.
