Yes, at your local dairy you can buy fresh gents-as you can imagine I was most intrigued and asked the lady “how much an hour does she charge? She looked at me blankly, so I showed her the signage and asked again “how much does she charge for the fresh gents – by this stage Murray was cracking up!!!
“Oh that” – oh she blushed……
“Gents are maggot”s! “Really”, I replied,” Maggots, I have never heard men being described as Maggots”, oh she said – maggots are fishing bait!
So, are SAustralians any different to the Tasmanians???!!!
We have had a great time camping at the Mt Remarkable National Park, but the heat became too much for us so we have moved to the Clare Camping Ground, where we can use our air con, swim, and have a very cold middie. (I am really getting into this Ozzie slang…)
Small towns in the Southern Flinders struggle to survive, I feel due to false advertising found in the tourist brochures describing the town as the art centre gallery mecca, after an hr drive we discover another ‘dead’ town, or agurably the prettiest jetty in SA, not sure who is arguring with whom on that one, it was certainly a long rickety jetty with a flakily lighthouse in need of a good paint. To save fuel why not put a sign up on the main road TOWN CLOSED!
Our faith in small town/country food was replenished after visiting Hickory’s Run, between Stone Hut and Wirrabbara. What beautiful, yummy, fresh food and sooooo cheap. The smoked pork chops melted in the mouth.
There were some lovely sights eg the sunflowers, the jandal….
Superman and Muz continue to make friends wherever they go, many people taking photos of them-Muz suggested putting out a money pot..
Here are 2 special Kiwi friends; Kiara and her brother Henry, both now living in Australia.
We had Xmas day lunch at the local pub, meeting some fellow campers and ended up spending the rest of the evening with them.
New Years Eve, was an extremely hot day – we blobbed, ate dinner at 9pm, then sat in the chair star gazing….
See photo below for the 'bush telegraph'...
