21/3 Peterborough

 

    From Burra , we make the drive up to Peterborough to stay with our friends there . It was an interesting drive , through fog & rain almost all the way , only breaking as we approach Peterborough . It was Thursday night , so that means going down to the RSL for dinner . We said hello to several people we've met before and enjoyed a $10 meal of chicken strips & wedges - very nice indeed! Leaving the RSL , we came out to this sunset .

    Next day we did some maintenance and assisted Frank with some repairs to the blinds in his van , before heading to the RSL again - it was hamburger night , and wow they were really good - like a hamburger used to taste . Back home again and another sunset from the verandah , with a couple of drinks.

     The bike came of the ute and I headed out for a spin around town to check out some of the buildings and whatever else took my fancy . This is the house across the road .

    Down to the main street and some more of the businesses

Peterborough Hotel is one of the great old pubs .

Not much room between these two - must have been the predecessor to todays small blocks .

Out on the edge of town was a transformation - things are green , we haven't seen it like this before .

And this definitely doesn't happen very often - water under the bridge 

    In reality , it was a large puddle in front of the welcome to Peterborough sign 😉 

 Peterborough has a strong railway heritage , and this was the main line into town .

     And finally some of the many roses that grow here - that's one thing SA does well - roses .





     That's another wrap , here's a map link :- https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1AXgBurMsSH6-RfW0wVXRxqbk60RMWwQ&usp=sharing
