Goodbye Adelaide

We were very sad to leave Darren, Jay, Jespa and Scott.     It was fantastic being with them for the six weeks, but sadly we needed to move on, in this case to Point Lonsdale in Victoria, followed by New Zealand and then back to the United Kingdom.     

As might be noticed, Scott normally lives in the United Kingdom, but he will be staying with Darren, and working there, for a few months, or more.    A great experience for Scott and good company for Darren, Jay and Jespa.

But before I say goodbye to Adelaide, I will include a few last photographs.    

Firstly a view of Prescott School, from the roadway.   Jay and Jespa have really settled into this school, which has large grounds, large classrooms, plus a new library and computer room, plus very wide verandahs surrounding all classrooms.   The gum trees and blue skies frame the school very well, I thought!

Walter and I visited the Adelaide Museum, again on a very hot day.     Luckily it was air conditioned inside.   It is a very small museum, compared to anything London has to offer, that is, but it does have four comprehensive display areas -  New Guinea, Australian Indigenous peoples, stuffed animals and a visiting display, which is currently focusing on Roman history.

The display of artifacts from New Guinea, and from the Australian Indigenous peoples, is very old.

And what is this?    An elephant in the museum!   Stuffed of course.  Achieved when killing elephants, and other wild animals. was an accepted sport   

The staircase in the museum is quite stately.

The Adelaide Arcade has been beautifully restored.    This arcade could easily rival any Victorian arcade in England.

And finally, a view of Adelaide, from the air, on a very hot and sunny day.  

So goodbye Adelaide, until next time.
