Adelaide

We have managed to pack a bit into our 5 nights here in Adelaide. It started with a driving test through roadworks, and even included an emergency stop thanks to an idiot that obviously doesn't get that you can't stop 4 tonnes doing 60km/h in an instant. Then we saw our caravan position only 15m from the beach which faces west for great sunsets.  We visited the zoo and saw pandas, reptiles, monkeys and meerkats. Whilst we were in town we came across a car rally with some old classic cars and some very new & expensive ones too.

Also had a nice bike ride along the beach path to Brighton, past the mansions and followed the new pipeline that will make sure all the beaches have sand. Later rode along the nicely landscaped Torrens River towards Adelaide's CBD.
