by Rachel As we count down our last days in Adelaide and Australia, another library-related post only seemed appropriate. It's down to the wire, but we finally got ourselves to the State Library of South Australia (we've only walked by it I don't know how many times!). The State Library is one of the grand …

Cleland Wildlife Park

By Pippa On Friday the 23rd of March, I went to Cleland Wildlife Park. The bus ride was a little long, but it was totally worth it! I saw Tasmanian devils, different types of wallabies, lizards, snakes, all sorts of birds, wombats, echidnas and dingo’s! I even got to feed kangaroos, emus and bandicoots. The …

Autumn in the rose garden

By Rachel When Rowan and Neil were off at Rowan's bagpipe lesson on Tuesday, Pippa and I decided to see how the roses were doing in Rymill Park. I took my camera for our walk; Pippa did not. It wasn't long, however, before she absconded with mine! I was left with my phone, which managed …

The Lost and Found Orchestra

By Pippa On Saturday the third of March we went to watch the Lost and Found Orchestra which was fun. All the instruments were made of literally any and everything! Seriously! There were traffic cones, pipes, bottles, umbrellas with wind chimes, wine glasses, drums, bellows and more! It was so cool! I was amazed by all the things they turned into …

Adelaide Writers Week

By Rachel Well, here I am, sitting with hundreds of people waiting for Alexander McCall Smith – the last speaker of the last day of the Adelaide Writers’ Week. Not a bad way to spend my time! I have probably listened to more authors in the past five days than I have for years (check …

Walking on the Adelaide oval

On Friday I went for an exhilarating walk on the roof of the Adelaide oval. It was absolutely amazing!! 50 meters up in the air and the only thing that's stopping you from falling is a cable that is attached to your jumpsuit and a pulley. Exhilarating and absolutely awesome!! Here are some photos: This …

Sri Lankan cooking – a follow up

by Rachel Rowan wrote a post about our cooking class that we all participated in while we were in Sri Lanka. I'm sure a few of you were a little skeptical as to whether anything would actually come of it - particularly once we were back in our regular (or as regular as this year …
