Looking out the left from the beach house you can see the remains of the pier that was at Pt Stanvic where the oil tankers came in and unloaded. That is all but demolished and these pylons should disappear very soon.
This was what we used to call Rabbit Rock. From a distance you can still see the rabbit shape, though not from this picture!
The big house is my cousin David and Leanne's new house, they had been living in the beach house for a number of years then subdivided the block and built their new house. To the left of the house you can see a bit of a white building and a red roof that is the beach house- it has views out to the right towards Port Norlunga and Christie's beach. Jeff and John the other two brothers have that block and the beach house and are still deciding what to do.
After our leisurely morning we headed into town and visited 2 Hampstead Road, Broadview where mum used to live in my grandparents two story house which I remember many a visit. It has been demolished and is now the car park for the Hampstead Hotel- where we had a bit of lunch then wandered the streets behind and walked down the street mum used to walk down to go to school and the tennis courts she used to play at.
Then we headed into Adelaide and went to the Art Gallery of SA and saw the Impressionist Exhibition they had with paintings form the Musee D"Orsay in Paris.
From there we headed over to Jeff and Fiona's and had a lovely dinner with them. I forgot to take a photo of them but got one of the cat sitting up at the table and one of their dog!
