Cape Jaffa Wineries

We loaded in the dogs and drove to Kingston SE for a walk along the jetty. Blue and Hugo played in the sand which is when I realised how rusted the piers are that support the jetty. Blue ventured into the shallow water then rolled in the sand and dried seagrass.



The town of Kingston was renamed Kingston SE (south east) because there is a second Kingston in SA,  now known as Kingston on Murray. It has buildings dating back to the mid 1800s. My favourite building is the post office. Nextdoor is the former court house, now a shop and cafe, with designated dog parking.




This lighthouse was constructed on an offshore reef in 1872. It was decommissioned in the 1970s and moved to Kingston under the auspices of the National Trust.

We returned to Cape Jaffa to leave the dogs in their respective vans. Originally we planned taking them to the Cape Jaffa Winery, but we learned the outdoor area was closed due to bees arriving this morning. The platters were good and apparently so were the wines and beers. The wine barrels are stored in a room cut into the side of the limestone hill which maintains a consistent temperature.



We moved onto the nearby Wangolina winery where one visiting couple had two huge Bernese Mountain dogs, and another couple had a Rottweiler. While our group sampled the wines, I went back to our caravan to collect Blue.

Aussie Road Crew - Finished

Image
After our final dinner and concert some Roadies were continuing their celebrations near our Bushtracker. We could hear the noise even though all windows were shut and the van is normally soundproof. As it was after 10pm I ventured out to negotiate with them. While one person accused me of being the fun police, other Roadies supported my suggestion they turn off the amplified music and keep the noise down. The general expectation in caravan parks is noise stops after 10pm. There were non Roadies trying to sleep in tents, and I suggested their activities would reflect badly on Aussie Road Crew and Beccy who might not be able to return to this park on future tours. Fortunately there was very little noise after my visit. We drove out of the Crows Nest Tourist Park just after 7am looking for a MacDonald's in Toowoomba for coffee and brekkie. Instead we spotted Valetta Cafe in time to park the van across the road. I bought a take away brioche egg and bacon roll and coffees. The cafe is i...

Around Chinchilla

Image
The Condamine River is flowing over the Chinchilla Weir 5kms out of town. It has reached the 6m mark on the gauge and is an impressive sight. It is forecast to reach 8m by Tuesday in two days time. Chinchilla has suffered several floods when Charley's Creek rises. This is the post office in the 2010-2011 flood and as it was today. On 28 December 2010 the water level at Chinchilla Weir topped 15m. Despite this history of repeated flooding Chinchilla appears to be a prosperous town with many community facilities such as a water park, 700 seat cultural centre, and major road improvements. Many of the out of town workers are employed by QCG, a Shell company "producing" natural gas in the Surat Basin - presumably this means collecting the gas by fracking. Just down the road there is accommodation for 1,000 workers in Stayover so the town is benefiting from the presence of this large workforce. Tilly finally slept through the night. Today I kept her outside as much as possible ...

Broken Hill to Burra

Image
We left Broken Hill about 8am for our drive to Burra. Our first stop was at Mannahill. We followed this load of sheep as we dawdled through roadworks. On a recommendation from friends we explored Terowie, an historic town that is almost abandoned. The town grew late in the nineteenth century as a transhipment point from broad gauge rail to narrow gauge. In the 1970s the line to Peterborough was converted to broad gauge and Terowie became a near ghost town. Several abandoned shops are now owned by the South Australian Government. Unfortunately there is a risk associated with asbestos being blown around the town. The population fell from about 2000 to 130. In 1942 General Macarthur passed through Terowie on his way to Adelaide and Melbourne. He made a public speech at the railway station famously asserting "I came out of Bataan [in the Phillipines] and I shall return". A plaque marks the location at the rem...
