This morning the sky was cloudy, but it soon turned into another sunny day. Sadly for farmers, this has been South Australia’s driest autumn for 100 years.
As we enjoyed our cup of tea lying in bed, we saw lots of walkers and runners on the beachfront path. There is an organised Park Run every Saturday morning. I took Blue to the beach where he kept pace running with a Golden Retriever.
We drove to Jetty Rd where there are several cafes and restaurants. We will walk along the jetty another day.
We chose A Cafe Etc but Anita did not like her piccolo as the coffee was bitter. Bluey and I enjoyed my decaf flat white. The building is one of about three shops with Art Deco curved glass windows. The original timber ice chest is still in use, but not as a fridge. The cafe is decorated with lots of photos and pictures of Marilyn Munro. There is a courtyard out the back where dogs are welcome, but we sat in the sun on the footpath.
This mural is on a laneway building in the Jetty Street preccinct.
he Brighton Civic Centre is a striking Art Deco building. It is regarded as being one of the finest surviving examples of this period in South Australia. The colour scheme doesn’t accentuate the many vertical and horizontal lines on the building exterior.
We are going to see a Melissa Etheridge concert tomorrow night, so drove to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre to understand where we should park. On our way home we stopped at the very busy Marion Shoppingtown to buy a few groceries.
This photographic mural on a toilet block shows the caravan park in the 1960s. The cliff is now protected as a conservation area.
It was high tide with a reasonable breeze that suited this windsurfer. The kite surfer was having trouble holding onto his kite.
The sun sets in the west over St Vincent Gulf. The waxing crescent moon is just visible in the second photo.
