Monday 6^th August

Gawler presents itself to the tourist in a few different fashions.  There are walking tours of the pubs, the city, the historic buildings, or a drive. Today we chose to drive around the 22 km to gain an appreciation of the place.  Gawler is about 45 km from Adelaide and is the second largest city outside Adelaide. It is also very close to the Barossa Valley, a wine growing region in South Australia.

This evening we were invited to have dinner at Julie and Pat’s daughter’s home further in towards Adelaide.  Belinda and her husband Glen have a beautiful ten month old daughter, Taya who was on her very best behavior and after her dinner and bath we heard no more from her at all.  Bob and I remember Belinda from birth, so it was lovely to catch up with her again and to let her parents know what a fine young woman she has become.
