The Bunyip is an Aussie word for a mythical outback creature. It is also the name of the local newspaper for the North Adelaide area.
It seems to be a bit like the Loch Ness Monster in that no-one seen a Bunyip for years and years. However, one was amazingly seen yesterday I have an exclusive photo.....
The day was gorgeous, with no clouds at all. We headed for Grange beach again and then after a swim we walked along the beach to the next town of Henley. It was a bit bigger.
I realised that a couple of days ago I mentioned Ned Kelly when I had a Ned Kelly pie. I realised that it may help to tell people that Ned Kelly was a famous Aussie outlaw who killed some policemen and went on the run with a gang. He robbed banks and shot another policeman. He was eventually tracked down where he wore a suit of metal armour to protect himself. All his men were killed and he was wounded and subsequently executed in 1880.
Back to our day....we went into Adelaide to see the People's Classic Cycling event. The women's race was already in progress around a 2km circuit.
The men's event included most of the worlds big name cyclists with the exception of Froome and Quintana. The big names that were present included Geraint Thomas, Peter Sagan and Richie Porte. They were really fast, as they came past our position we could feel a wind draft and we had to make sure we didn't stick our arms or legs past the railings as they came so close.
There was a good crowd and it all had a relaxed atmosphere. The man next to me was following the tour as a representative of Subaru who was the main sponsor of the event. He gave me a hat....
Back to Jack and Jill's. We hadn't really done any driving in the dark so we were extra careful not to hit any kangaroos.
