With the three of us tootling along in the non-airconditioned van, with one window stuck closed, and largely ineffective fans blowing, the drive up to Adelaide could be understated as hot and sticky.
Beyond a doubt the highlight of the day was finding Larry the Lobster, a “big thing” as per the banana and pineapple from earlier in our trip. Larry is special though – he was originally designed measured in feet but accidentally made in metres, so he’s three times bigger than expected (the photo has Caroline and Dad standing next to him, but they’re just dots!), and a testament as to what can be acheived with fibreglass!
The day finished with a dip in a shady cold swimming pool, absolute bliss after the day in the van. We also managed to squeeze in an Aussie barbeque for Dad’s last dinner with us, well it just wouldn’t be a trip to Australia without one!
HI there you two, how’s it going? Just had to comment on the giant lobster – we have exactly the same pic! It’s great to hear all about your adventures, I haven’t actually looked at this site for ages, shame on me. Katie can now say “g’day” – she loves her koala book, and watches the koala brothers on cbbc! I’ll post some new pics of her on facebook soon.
Take care,
Fee xx
