Make that two for the Motor Museum.

Hi Aussie,

Will put that on the list... our side of town too!

Good to see the lower lakes get a mention. I am from WA and have visited there a couple of times.
Was a Good cafe at Ruakkan.
The Coorong is special.
I get SA Tourism ads in my Facebook feed and they are all about the Hills, Kangaroo Island, Flinders Ranges and Eyre Peninsula.
Cheers

Thanks Stephen, I will keep that one in mind. May be a long day though as we start from Tea Tree Gully.

I know the Lake Albert area reasonably well, brother-in-law had a dairy on the Narrung to Meningie road.

Thanks Allan,

We are looking more at places of interest rather than wine tasting. Having said that, the Barossa can be short-listed for further investigation.

I know the Clare Valley well - my other brother-in-law has an aboriginal art gallery there, and I have done a lot of work up there helping him develop it.

There's more there than wine tasting.
I used to take interstate visitors on Adelaide Hills cellar door tours but always wound up with a headache. Switched to "Significant Old Buildings". It was cheaper too. lol

Also if you want some history, there is the fine old mansion "Martindale Hall" that everyone would know that was used in the Australian Classic Film, "Picnic at Hanging Rock"

As I am not into wine, there is still lots more to see in the beautiful Clare Valley besides wineries .



Cheers

Hey Stephen,

You don't need to drink wine in order to visit classic wineries.

I mean like, I strolled down Hay Street in Kalgoorlie without tasting the 'fruits'! LOL

Hi Allan

I love fresh fruit........lol



Cheers



Stephen

Thanks for your ideas, Steve.

We have done the Aviation Museum.

I was looking at Myponga, along the lines of: TTG > Myponga > Blowhole Creek > Ingalalla Falls > Victor Harbor > home. Blowhole Ck and the Falls would depend on weather, and if worth going.

I'll keep the Normanville Jetty Cafe in mind, and also the Yankalilla Museum - didn't know about either of them!

Great ideas.

If you're interested in Blowhole Creek then Talisker Mine a bit further down the road in Talisker Conservation Park is a lot more interesting with a well written out information on each mine shaft and ruin huts as well as the ruin smelter.

Ingalalla Falls
off Hay Flat Road back of Normanville is a great spot once the rains have come, the falls are the running and the pool has been washed out and the hill side is full of flowers. Covered picnic area as well.

Awesome views of the Southern Ocean at the end of Tunkalilla Road Tunkalilla. Very steep road heading down to look out, with a further walk down to the secluded beach. Popular spot for hand gliders if the wind is right.

Carrickalinga Lookout on Forktree Road once you're coming out from Myponga Dam You can see an eyesaw in the ocean. A huge concrete block was lost at sea in rough weather and pokes out a good 20ft out of the ocean. It was being transported from Port Adelaide to Melbourne and never made it out of the Cape. Cost of recovery was expensive so there it stays.

Thanks Cruiser, that is the type of info that really helps plan the type of tour I'm interested in doing.

Great help :)

Yeah, cheers!

My son, son-in-law and B-i-L in Clare are all getting into it.

Not sure that the rest of my Men's Shed Group would be that keen, but I agree about where the geocaches take you.

Thanks Kevin, all interesting info.

We are in Banksia Park.

Hi Glids,

Small world! :)

We cut down a large Port Jackson Fig tree on Hancock Rd, Fairview Park today!

Very close to you lol!

Good luck with the trips for the men's shed mate! :)

Thanks for the reply Brian.

I think most of our group would already have been to Hahndorf. Looking for something a little more 'out of the way'.
