After a pleasant stay at Langhorn Creek, we rose to a lovely day and headed towards Echunga in the Adelaide Hills. The scenery on the way was beautiful with rolling hills touched with green. Echunga is my Mum's birth place and was her home until she married our Dad. I wanted to go to the cemetery and see where my grandparents lay.
As the cemetery is quaint and only covers a small area, we spent about an hour walking through and came across some additional, unexpected family related headstones.
We said goodbye to Echunga and headed toward the northern outskirts of Adelaide to call in on Mum and Garry. Not very far out of Echunga we saw a dead Koala on the side of the road ... never before have I seen so many Koalas ... dead or alive!
Luckily Mum and Garry were home and we stayed to have a bite to eat for lunch with them. It was only a short visit as their street is very narrow and not a good place to park an 8 metre van plus a large vehicle.
After a delicious lunch we headed off for Moonta Bay on Yorke Peninsula. The caravan park there was heavily booked so they would only allow us to stay for one night. What a shame ... it is a very pretty place, but one night doesn't allow enough time for you to do any sightseeing.
