The reason why we had returned to Adelaide was because Lynn's Mum was travelling from N.Z. for her 90th birthday. We originally thought that the family would be going to N.Z ,but a couple of months beforehand she changed her mind and decided that she would like to make another trip to Australia. As you may have gathered she is quite a fit and fairly sprightly lady.
We both have family in Adelaide so having to come back to S. Australia was not really a problem to us ,although no one has room in their backyard for us so we have to stay in a caravan park. The previous trip we stayed at bolivar and this time we hoped to get into the park at Windsor Gardens but they couldn't take us so we ended up at Bolivar again.
While we were here we spent some time with my daughter and her family of 3 boys. One morning we had breakfast with the family and then walked up the road to the North East road to watch the Bay to Birdwood Run which is a rally for vintage vehicles. It travels from Glenelg to Birdwood where the vehicles are on display while their owners enjoy a picnic. Birdwood is also the home of a great old car museum.
We stood on the side of the road for about an hour and watched the vehicles go past . they came in batches as they had a break at the Tea Tree gully park . There were 1700 vehicles: cars, motorcycles, trucks and buses. Some were very old and some not so old. Many of the people in them wore costumes relevant to the period of their vehicle.
Lynn went berserk and took about 500 photos so I have just included a few. Don't' ask me what each one is because I don't know.
