Barossa day 2 - finish

well this is the last day of the last rally in the east, winery visit for morning tea and farewells, although this wasn't without drama's for me, on the way my first breakdown, after a bumpy bit of road (nothing unusual for SA), I started running on only 1 cylinder, on closer inspection the spark plug lead had separated from the terminal end, a quick fix and on my way again. when I arrived lex messaged me to say that she & MJ were on their way top Sydney again for another liver transplant. so right now I on my way home about an hour out of Ceduna. Because of the wind resistance it was recommended that I could fit a wind deflector, which I have done, so far seems ok

Barossa day 2 - Kapunda & Anguston

Todays run to Kapunga Museum, where we had lunch, I was photographed for an article for the SA RAC. We then trundled back to Anguston where the local machinery preservation society showed us their equipment and gave us afternoon tea. my navigator today was a 15 year old boy, I made his day by giving him a drive of the Maxwell. I then had a drive of a Model T Ford, which was quite different to the Maxwell, but surprisingly smooth. lather in the evening the cars put on lights and drove around the town, which the locals turned out for and enjoyed. short run tomorrow then packup for home trip.

Barossa day 1 - Lyndoch

Good run down to Lyndoch today, nice scenery around here which makes it interesting, met up with those who drove up from Adelaide, then visited  the Nuriootpa Primary School, it was great to see these primary school kids interested in the cars and asking questions. while here I hot to drive a white steam car around the oval a few times, fantastic. there are quite a number of straw people on the sides of the road which is an added attraction along the way. 

Nuriootpa

Flew back to Adelaide picked up the car & trailer, and drove to Nuriootpa where I cleaned the Maxwell for the next few days runs, tomorrow I'll give it a service then join some of the others for a run to Lyndoch for lunch and drive back with the others driving up from Adelaide, and after that a display at the Nuriootpa Primary School.

Maxwell in Adelaide

Annie in Adelaide tells me that Max has been having fun around the town while I'm away, after skydiving Maxwell met with some local artists

Victor Harbour

Day Trip to Victor Harbour - 1 horse power.

 

This is the last post until I come back to Adelaide to drive the Maxwell in the VCC SA Barrossa Valley Rally in a couple of weeks. 

Swan Hill

Monday we travelled from Moama to Adelaide, on the way passing through Swan Hill where we planned to stop for half an hour to take a brake and check out the Historic Village. But the 30 mins ended taking 2hrs as we were enjoying it and there was so much to see. it was one of the best historic village area's that I've seen, plenty to see and do, well maintained, and even though it covers 7 acres the display area still growing and being updated. finally arrived in Adelaide at 6pm where we unhitched the trailer and has a rest.
