So we’re four days into a ten-day visit to South Australia. First two days were in the CBD and I have to say that whilst the hospy folk are friendly, the general population are indifferent and rude…no spatial awareness or common street courtesy at all. They will literally walk into you rather than give way a little to avoid a collision. Had one oblivious guy carrying an open umbrella down low and so focussed on his phone that he pushed us into oncoming traffic. Twat.
Took a tram to Glenelg, which is basically SA’s St. Kilda and everything you’d expect it to be.
An hour’s drive to the Barossa yesterday. We’re in Tununda and had lunch at Maggie Beer’s pheasant farm eatery. Great spot, lots of birds to check out in a kind of mini zoo, but at $90pp for what was essentially a menu of various cabbage and lettuce leaves, a chunk of homemade bread, carrot puree and a smidge of a lamb or chicken slices, I did feel it was a bit of a rip off and profiteering based on her brand.
We’re off to McClaren Vale in the morning, then finishing off with two days on Kangaroo Island, then homeward bound. I thought that SA had a rep for decent weed but we’ve found nothing, so looking forward to our small stash at home next week :)
I’ll probably be booed out of the state for this, but I found people in Sydney to have a lot more common courtesy than here. The main difference I noticed is that people were generally really good about letting everybody get off before getting on the train, where as here nobody gives a shit and just pushes through the people trying to get on like the train is about to leave without them
I didn’t know Glenelg was st kildary, I didn’t know Adelaide had anything like that, but I’m curious now so might go check it out while I’m there.
Hey! Thanks CEO.
