Adelaide the city of Churches

There really are some beautiful old buildings in Adelaide, some of them are Churches.

We were going to the city today by bus,well that fell in a heap as we couldn't get into the shopping centre to buy a ticket for the bus, then we couldn't find anywhere to park to walk to the shops. Warren says stuff it we will drive to Hindmarsh square, about eight kms away and then walk to North terrace.

Found a park, with a big 3, no problems then I read the sign more closely, darn, 3 hours was on weekends, one hour was for Mon to Fri. Buggar, thats no good to us. GPS, find a parking station, ha! only 110 metres, only trouble was it was full. Finally we found one reasonably close and wound our way up to the top. ducking our heads in the car as it was low! One metre point nine five, not sure how high our car is but it couldnt have clear it by much.

Walking to Ayre House we saw that the museum had an exhibition on Coober Pedy, whoops did a swift left turn and paid a visit. Excellent showing would run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars for all the opal that was on display. There was even a mock up of an underground mine, not sure if photos were allowed but I didn't take any, it was amazing.

Lunch was pretty good. Think we blew the budget today but did see two unusual exhibitions.
The Art Gallery, we did step in here as we had been told that there had been an aboriginal art display unfortunately it had finished. The building was pretty impressive though.
