Day 19 - Copper Triangle

Today we reluctantly leave Redwing, but not before saying farewell to Lucky. Did I mention that Lucky was once the runt of the litter? This is the best way to say farewell to pig!


We headed into Moonta, checked out the art and craft sale in the local church hall, purchased some pasties for dinner, had a coffee, then headed over to Kadina, where the main Kernewek Lowender events for today were scheduled. Kadina is a much larger and more developed town than Moonta, and as the events were mostly a repeat of the day before, we only stayed to watch the maypole.

As this was a second time around for Maypole Geoff took a video of the last dance, which braids the maypole. One or two of our blogees may be interested, so go to YouTube http://youtu.be/C-UeB9VXPF0

We then had a leisurely drive (average 4.5 litres per 100 Km's) to our next accommodation  in the Adelaide Hills at Gumeracha. Randell's Mill, which is now a B & B, was built in 1848 as a steam powered Flour mill, later becoming a dairy produce factory among other things.

And from the rear.


As can be seen from the photos, the split level interior is very luxurious - bedroom above, kitchen below


This is the lounge looking down from the bedroom


After an evening walk around Gumeracha, we enjoyed dinner, consisting of possibly the best pasties in Australia (the ones we bought from the Cornish Kitchen in Moonta earlier in the day).
