The one "must see" place to visit was a little and I mean little town called Macclesfield. We drove through wonderful green sheep filled hills to get there and found that it was a very pretty town with hardly any population. It did, however, have 2 pubs, which meant that the percentage of pubs per number of population is about the same as in our own Macclesfield.
We bought some Macclesfield postcards at the post office. The lady behind the counter had been to our Macclesfield and had here photograph taken outside our post office. Small world, isn't it.
Arriving in Adelaide we stayed at a youth hostel called My Place. Not bad for a$58 a night including breakfast, if you like pancakes. The whole place was being decorated and there was wet paint everywhere. The plus point was that Christine liked the young decorators.
Yesterdays eveing meal was in Chinatown and we had a good filling helping of Chinese stirfry chicken and beef, costing less than 10 dollars.
Today we have been to the South Australia National Museum and seen the Aboriginal displays and the South Pacific displays. They were both extremely good and we recommend the place to everyone.
We then saw the Immigration Museum, interesting but not too much to see.
Lastly we spent time in the Botanical Gardens. Wow, yet another great gardens. We must have taken hundreds of pictures yet again.
