It was a very windy night and it was cold when we got up
this morning.
We took it easy and it was halfway during the morning when
we left the caravan park and drove to Hahndorf. This touristic town east of
Adelaide is a German settlement and this is still very much visible these days.
We spend the morning walking around town, visiting the quirky and sometimes
very kitschy shops and museums.
Around lunch time we drove to
nearby Mt Lofty. At the Botanical Gardens we prepared our own lunch and had a
walk around the garden afterwards. The Botanical garden at Mt. Lofty is massive
and we only saw a small part. It looked beautiful with all the rhododendrons
flowering.
Meanwhile the wind eased down a bit and the sky cleared so
when we drove up to the Mt Lofty Summit we actually had a pretty nice view over
Adelaide and surroundings.
Today it wasn’t a ‘total fire ban day’ anymore so we decided
to camp at Chookarloo Campsite one more night. We gathered enough firewood to
keep us warm this evening and enjoy the company of koalas, kangaroos and
magpies.
