Semaphore Greek Fest & Gum Tree

Cam and I went to Semaphore, a suburb to the north in Adelaide for a Greek festival. We parked near the 1880 water tower, seen below. He was practicing architectural terms in preparation for his upcoming class.



The Greeks had a BBQ that included corn on the cob, lamb, chicken, and various other meats. Cam was excited at all the lamb. Check out a volunteer putting on another spit.

 

 

We also got a bunch of "honey balls" that were fried dough smothered in honey & cinnamon. Sticky but yummy!

Here's a shot of me at the festival with the stage in the background. We listened to a few songs and watched some kids dancing. It was pretty good fun, especially because we had been out on a hike during the day. Neither of us had to cook, which was fantastic.

 

 

One day recently, we finally made it to the "old gum tree" near-by our place in Glenelg. This tree was a bent gum under which the earliest settlers declared SA a colony of Britain in 1836. Its not alive any more, but it is pretty cool that they've built a shelter over it to mimic its curve.

Next posts will get back to Christmas I think!
