Our Rainbow Connection

Adelaide day trip -  ( 1 video)
During our trip we have been trying to get Mia booked into a specialist to look into her medical problems and the only day to see one is today at the city of Adelaide. About an hour and a half drive and the GPS decides to take us along the windy road through the scenic locations and wineries. Everyone is feeling quite carsick by the end of the drive and Adelaide is a welcomed relief.

Mia & Mummy go on into the doctors while me and Lily check out some sites around. One of them being the St peters Anglican church that is nearby. It is a mixed school day here and there are school kids by the hundreds. we popped inside to take a couple of photos and Lily loved this little excursion with daddy.

   Mia was cleared of any major problems and we jump back into the car to head back to Mannum. We will definately come back to Adelaide for some sightseeing of this well organised town. There are plenty of churches in Adelaide so we may church takes some great photos of what makes this town renowned.


We are driving back to Mannum and it starts to rain, producing one of the best rainbows any of us has ever seen. the end of the rainbow was literally 100 meters away. You could throw a stone to it for sure. A few photos and some video needed to be taken.

Full arch rainbow
Almost a double arch at times
Before leaving Mannum i dropped off the van to a Trye mechanic who will rotate the wheels for me to let both sides of the tread wear evenly on our trip. For $36 it was a bargain and he even let us fill up on water from his town water tap.. I filled both tanks to keep us in plenty of showers while camping in the no water areas. Tonight though we moved up river a little to another free camp site. Definately not as good as the first but we are just digging in for the night so no sights are being missed.
