Just got back from Adelaide and loved it!
Hi Guys
I have just had a great few days on a camping trip to Adelaide.
We stayed in Mclaren Vale and it was grogeous. The beaches were lovely and very dog friendly (unlike the Victoria beaches) You can take your dog on all summer on all of them as long as on leads. And there was even a couple of beaches where you can take your car onto the beach (only ever seen this in America).
Its very quiet and spacious and full of vine yards and wineries. All of the houses are newish and its all nice and clean. The city was smaller than Melbourne, but very similar and just as nice, and there was Torrens river near the city, which had boats on it and palm trees and it was very nice.
On the down side it was maybe a bit too quiet and pertrol was more expensive.
The journey home was a long one, but very well worth the drive, we went along the Great Ocean Road and saw the Blow Hole, London Bridge and the 12 Apostles. We also stopped along the way at a few small seaside towns which were gorgeous, fab week had by all!

The house is due to start in a month.
I still have no date for my first exam, so looking for other work.
