Friday 2nd October
It must be Wales!! Rain, cold, windy--the ideal day to travel. What looks like a short distance on the map turns out to be 7 hours!! A convoy of 4 cars set off from Port Lincoln up the coast of the Eyre Peninsula, crossing at Port Augusta, and then down the east side of the Spencer Gulf to the Yorke Peninsula, to the area known as the Copper Coast where the District Conference is to be held (Wallaroo/Kadena). Quite interesting scenery en route but repetitive. Chance for some sleep. Changeover of hosts is again emotional although we will see our Port Lincoln friends at the conference. Instant positive rapport all round with our new Maitland hosts and we go off in different directions. My hosts Pete and Julie have a fantastic farm--just the job. Julie says that as it is Friday they usually go down the pub and am I interested!!! Meet Claire and Jacqui down there and have a great meal, few Coopers Lights and loads of jollity--great atmosphere. Then its back to the farm and a bucket load of fresh crabs as a nightcap!!
