We haven't had a hydraulic jack for over a week and John has tracked down a guy who can replace all the seals and oil for $100.00, but the problem is he is in St Marys a suburb of Adelaide so here we go again! On our way we pulled into the city of Elizabeth to do our duty and get the voting out of the way, with that done and dusted we continued on.
We had done some research and found out that the van park we wanted to go to was quite popular so we booked ahead for the two nights we were going to be in town. Brownhill Caravan Park backs on to the Brownhill Conservation Park, since we were in a van park we spoiled ourselves with power and water (yes these are luxuries for us). The park has a bush like look about it with lots of trees and bushes, ducks, lizards and in the summer months the Koalas come down from the trees and drink water from bowls put out by the hosts of the park.
While we were in civilization we had my phone looked at as like the jack it has not been working to its full potential. The telstra dude replaced the sim card, but no luck still have the same problems. I am now using the brick that John had bought along just on the off chance something went wrong with one of our phones, lucky eh!
Ok, we stayed at Brownhill for two night and we were off again to our next stop, on the way we stopped at McLaren Vale Wines to take a look at one of the most bizarre buildings ever designed called the d'Arenberg Cube. This building was designed by Chester Osborn and he was inspired by the complexities and puzzles of wine making. Not only is it a weird building the toilets are the most funky loos we have ever seen.
We called it a day when we reached a very, very little dot town called Towitta. You can camp at the Towitta Hall for $5.00 a night. Nice place, it only had toilets but it was only an overnight stay. After we set up we were greeted by two dogs, one looked a little beat up but happy to see anyone who would pat them. Next morning the local farmer and his wife who collects the money drove up and it turned out the dogs were theirs. The older one had a go at the younger pup and had put him in his place. We also found out they needed to get a truck load of hay to feed their sheep and blew us away when he told us it set him back $7,000.00. Until you talk to those going through the drought you really don't get the full story.
