Adelaide

At Easter, we decided to go down to Adelaide, mainly to visit my brother, Alan. This is the non-family-related Adelaide pics...

Looks like a bus, smells like a bus - but slower.

Central Square - with a reminder of one of your previous queens.

Kim by the waterfall.

And me by a stature of a hairy bloke.

One of the old trams to Glenelg...

...the palindrome where the seagulls live.

And very pretty it is, too.

Adelaide's new mass transport system.

Likewise.

You just can't have enough duty-free opals.

The ship that isn't. It's a mock-up restaurant - presumably with pirates or somesuch.

Rocked up (down?) the coast to Brighton for lunch. Beach surprisingly denuded (snigger) of homosexuals.

Oh yeah, this was the car we hired - a Toyota Shitbox.

Lunch - really, really good fish & chips.

He thought so, too.

These guys were fishing.

Onward to Port Aledaide.

Where the boats come from.

We stayed at this place in town - the Directors Inn.

Sunset from the Scenic Hotel up in the hills.

And thence to Handhorf and all things German.

In case they get the urge to invade Poland.

All cutsey old buildings.

And FULL of tourists (not like us).

Dropped in to Mount Lofty (so called because Australians like to use the "bleedin' obvious" nomenclature system - it's a mountain, it's high).

On finals back into Sydney Airport. Around Botany somewhere.
