Before we left the Clare caravan park, I took Blue for a run on the grass behind the cabins. He loves chasing his ball or other toys. Fortunately all the exercise he has been doing leaves him tired in the evenings.
When I bought our coffees and another loaf of bread from the bakery, the server remembered I was from the caravan park and hadn’t used the 10% discount offered to CP visitors. I hadn’t even taken the discount voucher.
The site to the left of our van was vacant making it easier for us to drive out than it had been to park when we first arrived. In Clare it was cloudy but not raining when we left.
Our only stop was at Mallala where there is an eight ways intersection. There is a very unusual war memorial in front of the Mallala Hotel. Mallala has a motor sport track for racing a variety of vehicles, which is why the Stobie pole near the Bushtracker is painted with black and white checks symbolising the winner’s flag.
At the Adelaide Showground Caravan Park we set up on our large site. Several other Roadies are staying here, as we are all going to a Beccy show tomorrow night. Blue was delighted to see his friend Leo.
We went for a walk along Goodwood Rd checking out the cafes and food shops, and wonderful buildings. The Art Deco Capri Theatre has a large mural along one wall.
An old church is being used as an oriental rug shop named Shiraz Gallery. The building is an interesting mix of brickwork and different types of stone, with elaborate limestone features around the arches and on the buttresses. Even the hedge has been trimmed to reflect the oriental style.
The Goodwood Bookshop is in an old shop with its original tile frontage and window framing. The interior decorations are attractive.
For dinner we went to the Goodwood Hotel with two of our Roadie friends. There is a pedestrian gate giving us access to Goodwood Rd using our access.
