Description:

We all met at Hungry Jack’s on Anzac Highway for a caffeine hit to start the morning and even breakfast for some.

Following a quick start up instruction we headed off. Trudy was panicking with 15 cars in tow and with good reason as Pat managed to get lost within 15 minutes, Cassie managed to get him back on track and we made our way south through Happy Valley, Clarendon, Kangarilla and McLaren Flat.

We had morning tea in McLaren Vale where there was lots of chatting and catching up with each other.

After more coffee and some yummy slices (thanks Trudy) we ventured off to our next destination. There was a right turn into the busy McLaren Vale weekend traffic that took some time but we all managed to catch up and regroup into our convoy and continued on through Willunga, Mt Compass and the final run down the roller coaster road into Middleton.

Another right hand turn that proved to be more painful than the last one, but eventually we all made it to Port Elliot (thanks to the cockle train stopping traffic for us).

Our lunch was in Commodore Park (yes you read right) on top of the bluff, with lovely views over the south coast. With so many shining fast Fords maybe they need to change the name of the park.

After lunch we made our way home stopping at the Strawberry farm in Mount Compass for ice cream and coffee. We all had a lovely day with great company. Thank Pete and Helen for sweeping with such a large group.
