Adelaide

This is the giant pink pony that I won at the games at the Royal Adelaide Show. The show is basically a giant county fair only it's a really really big deal.

I got to milk a cow at the show, I even got a badge!!! At the start, before you got to the actual cow, they had you squeeze a rubber glove full of water, to get the feel for it ya know?? :)

We went to Handorf the same weekend we were in Adelaide. Handorf is an old German Settlement in the Adelaide hills. I love the Adelaide hills. If I ever moved back to Oz, I think I'd live there. It's close enough to the beach and the city but it's still kind of seperate and quite. It's beautiful.

This is just a pretty photo from Kybybolite (the town I live in) on the outskirts of Naracoorte (where I go to school)

This is the show bag pavilion at the Royal Adelaide Show. This is where you buy a bag full of junk and keep it as a souvineer, I bought a wonka one and I got a funky hat to go with it!!! :) It's very bright and full of people.

These are the jesters that were wandering around to entertain the kids. hehehe :)

This is the cow that i was supposed to help out with at the show. I went with the School's Ag department. They get to rais cows for about 6 months and then they take them to the Adelaide show to have them judged. Then they get killed and sent off to a butcher. . . I don't think I've ever seen someone get so emotional about a cow. . .

We went to Glenelg on that same weekend. It was a beautiful day, 28 degrees celsius. Amazing!!! Nicola and I didn't have any bathers so we went for a swim fully clothed. It was heaps of fun!!! This is Nicola (my host sister age 14) and Marilyn (my host mom) on the Glenelg Pier.

This is Nicola's Tournament of the Minds team in full dress rehersal. It's kind of like Destination Imagination. They were heaps good, but not good enough to win :)
