When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Willunga is a pleasant 35minute drive south if you don’t go to Duds

We are at Old Tailem Town, drove past it a dozen times thought we should have a decent look , it’s a bit of a shame that everything seems to be going downhill due to lack of maintenance ImageImage would need a big crew of volunteers to keep it all in good Nick - seems to be a common theme with these types of places

I haven't been in there though, like you, driven past a million times. Club has done a few runs there. Better try and outrun the rain coming and continue on to the Mount. Meningie, Coorong, southern ports highway is a nice drive. Pleasant coast towns, Robe, Beachport.

There is also a very early FX with the door locks at the back of the rear doors there sitting out in the weather, forget to get a pic

We then headed off to Tailem Bend for lunch, which was going to be brunch but it had gone 12 by now …. Found a bakery and refuelled and off we went , got down the road a ways and spotted some treasures so we pulled up and had a chat with the owner and looked through his stuff, nothing too interesting, some Jeeps and old Jags

Off again -
