Tailem Bend Pioneer village SA

Arrived back in Adelaide on 3rd November & went to my friends Colin place in Marleston where we had left the van. Time to stock up, get the fridges cold. Colin has been in hospital for the last 2 weeks & is due home tomorrow.

On Sunday we headed off to Country music dance & caught up with some friends there & danced the afternoon away.

After the dance took the highway up through the hills to Mt Barker where we spent the night in Vinnies carpark

Monday morning headed east to Tailem Bend, making our way to Mildura for a week @ Sunraysia resort.

 

We spent couple hours wandering around this village, all old buildings that have been saved from demolition in towns around the area.
