A casual day at John and Jenny‘s farm “Panardia” Macclesfield. After a leisurely start and catching up on some “admin” w
e set of on the scenic route via Windy Point a lookout from the southern end of the Adelaide plain. The rain has cleared the air of dust and smoke form the burn offs and the views were very impressive. We have had more rain and
heavy showers today and we could see heavy rain squalls coming in off the sea. The drive to Macclesfield about an hour to the SE of Adelaide took us though dense gums keeping a look out for koala and roos. Following some nifty navigation and spotting bunches of balloons at the entrance we all got stuck into an excellent roast lunch. There were a lot of the older club members present
who now live local to the Henshall’s and it was great to catch up with them. We had what is now recognised as the official sad farewells, we are on our way tomorrow but Rob took the opportunity to make a presentation to Ken Rowland of his Honorary Life Membership plaque having achieved 46 years of membership, which was a nice touch. John invited us all down to
feed the cows Aberdeen Angus beautiful animals as well as a somewhat frisky bull who apparently is about to do his thing any day now, in which case he is entitled! The gums here are spectacular and the clear air gave the scenery a special quality
some of us walked up the hill and caught sight of some roos when they broke cover. Back to our hosts to pack and make the early start tomorrow to Merbein. Rob laid on a BBQ for me and his two daughters who came round and I actually had the proverbial shrimp on the BarB! I said Edwardstown were a rowdy bunch and they really have been great fun thanks guys we will catch up with you at the Farewell Dinner, although that still seems a long way off, perhaps not.
