A Weekend for Revheads

It was a lovely warm day on Saturday and the annual car show was on, so off we went for a look.  Usually it would be held at a different venue, but this year it was held at the Wharflands Plaza in 
the car park.

There were many old favourites, 
so
I took some random snap shots for you to enjoy!

I loved this one!
I used to own one similar to this but with four doors J


 Torana!
It is hubby's dream to own one of these J












A local policeman owns this one...




 






See the red mustang below?  
It is for sale, and I want it!



Members of the Adelaide Speed Boat Club were showing their stuff on the water, but unfortunately we missed out on seeing them.  By the time we got there the last of the speed boats was on show but it broke down...

Here are some pictures of the gulf. 


 Some lucky people having some fun J




 Looking along the wharf...



You can see where Port Augusta is located on the map below.
We are at the top of Spencer Gulf, where the outback meets the sea J

  
Where to next??
Come back tomorrow and I will show you J


What did you get up to on the weekend? Hope the weather was nice J

Randomness

The Hippy's are flowering J



 As is the lavender...


Succulent pretties...


 Onions have been harvested and left to dry...


I dug up some of my potatoes to make room for tomato plants and was pleasantly surprised at how many there were.


Seeds have sprouted...
Pumpkins, rock melons and tomatoes  J


Some cooking done for the local Garden Club...


 Baby sitting the grand dog...



When I went to shut our chooks up a few nights ago, our resident Sleepy's were having a lovely time eating our chook bran. It was just on dark when I noticed something near the food pan.  When I shone the light on them they thought it was time to scamper!


They were back the next day paying us another visit, this time they brought along a friend...


This one is for you Harry J


 Aww he went to sleep...


Hubby has been busy again making garden beds from old baths...


 Look what was living inside...


BIG Mama red back spider...


Healthy eating J


 Moon rising on sundown...



Sunset...


The heat has arrived with the temperature reaching
42C (107.6F) yesterday! It was a good day for sitting inside doing nothing.  Thankfully today is a bit cooler J

Wishing you all a great week J
