And then the Rain Came

 Our first morning in Clare dawned clear
so a walk along the Riesling Trail was in order.


My favourite Red on my favourite 
White so why not B and W !


Bud Burst....


I wish ours at home would do this !




A paddock of Orange ??
Quite spectacular.


Then as I walked past the Conservation Park
Sitting on 11 eggs....


Then the Rain Came !!!!!!!


Same spot next morning ...


Looking down from the bridge,
that white pipe is the water into the Van Park.
The next day it was broken....
ergo no water and no power !


A trip into to town to make a phone call ,
"This can't be good!"


Nor this !


We stayed 2 nights even though the SES
wanted us to leave !


The third night OUT !
So over to the Showgrounds....
No power , No water.
But we had a pleasant Happy Hour !


The rain had eased so I walked over to the Park
our sight was the one on the left....
Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea to leave !


We headed South to the Barossa
Now aren't Windmills meant to pump water from underground....


The Bitch in the Box took us through God Knows Where
in the Adelaide Hills ....
But this tickled our fancy !
The sign put up by his wife we assume said
"He's Nuts!"
