13 March - Tour of the Adelaide Hills

Today was our last day in Adelaide and we decided to tour the Adelaide Hills and visit some of the historic towns and villages. Although it is very dry here the scenery is still interesting and many of the towns in the hills have maintained their old historic buildings. There are also great cafés everywhere and our first stop was one in Mt Barker for coffee and the best apple crumble I've ever tasted. From here we continued on through Lobethal and Birdwood and lots of little towns in between. We also visited a working chocolate factory called Melba's. The above picture is of the Birdwood Mill which is now part of the complex which houses the National Car Museum. I've visited it on previous occasions so this time we drove on to Adelaide and a bit of shopping before returning to the caravan. After dinner (one of Rosa's fantastic curries) we packed up the awning and all the outside stuff as we are departing Adelaide in the morning and heading back towards Victoria along the Western Highway.
