It took me for a beautiful
drive along country lanes and roads, past vineyards, and vast fields of emerald
green (lucerne I think) as well as vast stretches of yellow canola fields. The Barossa Valley is so pretty. I would like to return one day and have
a good look around.
I had a great
experience that took me back about 50 years. As I was heading along the highway I missed a freeway
turnoff that I was supposed to take, but the GPS quickly reprogrammed and so I
continued on my way through more beautiful countryside. After about twenty kilometres I arrived
at the edge of the Murray river at Coorang and had to board an old ferry to get
across to the other side.
The ferry is operated
by long steel cables that stretch across the river and pull it across from one
side of the river to the other. So
surprising in this day and age that this mode of transport still exists close
to a major city, but such a lot of fun.
