Kapunda

Our first camping site on the Aussie Road Crew SA tour is at Kapunda. This is one of South Australia's oldest towns. It is also credited with preventing the State from going broke thanks to the discovery of copper in the 1800s. Sidney Kidman played a large role in the town's development - he had business dealings and bought large chunks of land establishing the huge Kidman Station.

A group dinner was held in the bowling club next door to the caravan park. This is some bowling green - millions of dollars were spent buildig the roof and laying the artificial turf. Netting protects the whole roof from birds - otherwise they could perch on the beams and poop on bowlers from a great height.

Dinner was prepared by volunteers from the club, and the food was excellent considering about 70 people were served at the same time. The bar served cheap drinks as it was also staffed by volunteers.

Our first concert included Rick Albeck who is Beccy's son. While we were listening to Beccy sing a welcome cold change came through cooling us down.

Drive Napier to Whanganui

Image
Our first stop was at the Hastings Farmers' Market, which is so popular it is held every Sunday - sun, rain or hail. The queues for coffee were too long for us to wait, but we bought two lovely croissants from a French baker's stall. We picked up coffees in town at the cinema cafe. Something we don't see at home is milk being sold in reusable bottles. It is decanted from a bulk container so is labour intensive. We stopped for lunch at Palmerston North. There are several wall murals in the city but none were very good. The art deco style "Ladies Rest" was built in 1937. Inside there are arm chairs in a lounge area, original tiles and some original plumbing. When first built it was just rendered, but the current colours work really well.

Fingal Bay

I scootered 4kms along the bike path to Fingal Bay. This bay is outside Port Stephens but I was surprised to see a Surf Life Saving Club because the sea was absolutely flat. The sand spit can wash away during high tides stranding people on Mount Stephens.

Wanganui

The town's name is spelt without an h, but the river is Whanganui. There have even been referenda about the spelling, with or without the h. Finally the powers that govern such things decreed either is acceptable for the name of the town. This must be a challenge for computer mapping programs and manufacturers of GPS guidance technology. These wonderful old buildings are in Victoria Avenue, down near the river. They date from the mid 1800s and have been well preserved. Earthquakes caused significant damage in 1843 and 1897, but not to the same extent as the destruction of much of Napier. In the past month there have been dozens of earthquakes rated weak to moderate in New Zealand and nearby waters, including a magnitude 4.1 quake 30 kms south of Wanganui (in the Cook Strait between the north and south islands). Fingers crossed there won't be another disastrous event.
