Part 2 Day 3 Adelaide

After discovering there was a local produce market in one of the nearby towns Wirrabara we decided to call in on the way past and see what was on offer. We were both pleasantly surprised at the size of the town and hive of activity finding on offer many stalls of local fruits and vegetables, bread & bakery goods, meat's and seafood along side locally grown honey, olive oils and a few local crafts. A great little monthly market for the area.

Pressing on we arrived at  the Old Bakery in Stone Hut a place dad knew about already and had recommended so I took the chance to try some local produce, a bottle of F.C. Grubb sarsparilla & a quandong pie. They say it's a native peach, but to me it tasted more like rubarb. That slight tartness, but with the shortcrust pastry topped with sugar and  the side of cream & passionfruit my taste buds were amazed, it was fantastic!!! They specialised in the more traditional home style cakes, slices, tarts & pies even did cider tastings and sold wild boar, roo, crocodile and emu pate!! And of course the SA institution - pie floaters... but dad declined. (I forgot to take my camera & only had my phone to snap it on so the photo here's from the internet.)

Our next aim was to head for Clare, and upon arrival had a spot of lunch. Initially we had set out to spend a night here, but as most of the local attractions were wineries and neither of us were interested in doing any tastings again we decided it was probably best to head  home back to Adelaide now that we were so close.
So on we went via Gawler as dad hadn't been though it before (and it had been a few years for me) We were both surprised how big and how busy it was for a Sunday afternoon. Still we managed to steer Doreen through the commotion and back onto the highway home, arriving safely back in Adelaide by mid afternoon.
