The Farm Shed

I visited the Farm Shed back in 2012. It is the Copper Coast Visitor Centre as well as a museum dedicated to displaying farming equipment, military memorabilia, mining equipment and transport. Entry was $8 per adult and the collection was very large. I have to say, while I was impressed, it wasn't necessarily 'my thing' but definitely found some things rather interesting. 

Entering the old miner's cottage was like taking a step back in time with rooms set up as they would have been. I think this place would be great if you were visiting on the weekend to enjoy the miniature train park too. These are little trains that you are able to sit on and it takes you around a track, part of which runs through the area of The Farm Shed.

This is a bit of a step up from the 'vehicle' they used in 1898.

Fork on the Road

We walked from our place to Port Adelaide on the weekend for the Fork in the Road festival. I took some photos along the way. 

P is for Paella

The Photo a Day prompt is P.

We ate paella at the Fork on the Road festival at Port Adelaide.

L is for Landscape

Today's prompt is 'landscape' and where there once were  huge paddocks across the road, luxury houses are filling the space.

Mambray Creek Campsite

In April of this year, I went camping with a bunch of friends to Mambray Creek in the Flinders Ranges. We planned it right after fire season ended, only to find out soon after we arrived that fire season had been extended. One of the best things about camping is the campfire but we were out of luck. Unfortunately for us, we had planned on cooking all our meals on the fire and so we had to share one cook top for the 5 of us, until the kind ranger lent us another one. It was absolutely freezing those two nights without a fire but we managed to have a good time and it was gorgeous country. 

 We got to the campsite and set up our tent when we realised all the tent pegs for were left at home.

 We woke up to the sound of an emu searching our site for food. 

We took a drive to nearby Port Augusta.

Moon Lantern Festival

Last night was the Moon Lantern Festival in Adelaide as part of the Oz Asia festival. Despite the long lines and crowds of people, I had a great time.
