Jack and Carmel preparing our crabs
Old church in Moonta with EK Holden

Day 18
It’s raining this morning and a bit cool. We are catching up on our e mails, updating the Blog etc. until we work out what the weather is going to do. Mid morning, we decide to go for a drive and do the “Copper Triangle”. It is 3 towns...Wallaroo, Moonta and Kadina. These towns not only have mining history but lots of Welsh history as well. We wander through the town of Moonta and have lunch at the famous “Cornish Kitchen” and try their Cornish Pasties. Alan is in food heaven!! Next stop is Kadina and we visit the “Farm Shed”, the best museum we have ever seen. Big call I know, but it was really so easy to get around and such interesting displays. We were all a bit tired when we got back to camp so decided on fish and chips at the jetty, almost wrapped in newspaper it was so fresh!! Cuppa and bed.....until Jack, from Whyalla who is camped next door, knocked on our door and asked if we wanted some crabs he had just caught. Can’t turn down a fresh blue swimmer ,so after instructing us on how to cook them and accepting a beer for his troubles we cooked 4 of the little darlings up and ate them with a bit of seafood sauce. A bit of a chat with Jack and wife Carmel and it was 10pm when we finished!! How different life on the road is to home.....
