Come on a mini tour of some of my favorite places here in Adelaide South Australia
History
Old Bricks
Put down the tools
No work today
Time has moved on
The skills have faded away
Years go by
Old men remember like it was yesterday
Soon they disappear
Memories and story’s taken away
If only the old bricks
Could stay
Star of Greece
The remains of the Star of Greece, a three masted, iron cargo ship wrecked at Port Willunga in 1888
I have been wanting to Photograph this wreck for along time and finally got the chance this week.
It was fantastic being there for the sunset over the wreck and was just and amazing experience, anyone wanting to read more about the history of the Star of Greece can find it here

Excelsior
Walking around Mutton Cove South Australia
The Screw steamer Excelsior was built in 1897 by Gourlay Brothers of Dundee, Scotland.
The steel hulled vessel measured 131.0 feet (39.9 m) in length, 24.0 feet (7.3 m) breadth, 10.8 feet (3.3 m) depth and was 310 gross tons.

Mutton Cove is an isolated and desolate area on the tip of the LeFevre Peninsula just 23 kilometres north west of Adelaide. It consists mainly of saltmarsh and is bounded by the sea and land

History
(Adelaide City secret discovery Compton St. Edited Gimp 2.8)
(Copied from the plaque on the Building)
This small building was originally built as a house
By Edward Moore in 1871. A shopfront was added by the next owner,
baker Mathew Madge, in 1898-99.
Bert Edwards, one of Adelaide’s most colourful and notable citizens,
opened a tea room here in 1913.
It was immensely popular, particularly on Friday nights when the rear of the shop was used for the playing the then illegal game of two-up.

Shhh
Quietly you stand
Circle of three
Thousands of years
Your secrets kept away
Are you ready to tell?
I am listening
Shhh
