We were delighted to arrive at Carolynne’s Cottages, Naracoorte…palatial accommodations after our previous budget night.

Mitzy met Toby and they frolicked around the substantial and beautifully appointed cottages and gardens, and enjoyed a gorgeous sunset. Into town to experience Geoffrey Carran’s mural celebrating the endangered population of Red Tailed Black Cockatoos.

A delightful Indian meal followed, at the Pearl Orient Restaurant.

Early morning imbibing at Farmers Leap winery at Padthaway and bought a couple of reds and bubbles. Lovely gums surrounded the vines.

Coonalpyn silo art out next stop – a little town affected by the millennium drought and Global Financial Crisis. The mural design represents Coonalpyn’s hope for the future, its local children, and it was painted as part of a regional renewal project.  300m tall, 200 spray cans plus acrylic paint applied with brush and airbrush! 

Our accommodation for the next few days is at Discovery Park at Semaphore beach, Adelaide.
