South Australia

I will not write a long article about South Australia, because I only saw a spec of what there is to see, but I really enjoyed it. I found the South Australian warm and welcoming despite the hard work of a farm, and even though what I saw of it was desert, they really make the most out of it.
I stayed 10 days at a HelpX farmstay, where I learned the easy way how it is to work in a farm (except when those stupid sheeps didn't see the gate that was right in front of them and I had to chase after them... but even that was fun!).
We had 2 days off work. The first one, a friendly neighbour (30km away) took us to Ngarkat Conservation Park, and then I realized how lucky I was to do what I was doing. I mean, he took us on dirt roads not a lot of people go to, among a vegetation that you see nowhere else, the experience was unforgettable.

The second day off, we went on a mini road trip from Keith (where the farmstay was) to Naracoorte, where the Victoria Fossil Cave is, then to Mount Gambier to see the not-so-blue Blue Lake, and then up the coast from Beach Port to Kingston. That was not breathtaking, but it was really nice indeed.

And then, after I left the farmstay, I went to Adelaide. What can I say? I think I had with Adelaide the feeling I should have had with Melbourne. An arty city center, a buzzing and local Central Market - and by local, I mean with Crocodile meat or Emu steaks, which are delicious by the way - and micro cafés sprouting at every corner. The day at Gleneg, the local beach resort, did help me enjoy it and relax

how is that supposed to be Fall?!

Of course, I didn't go to Port Douglas, and I didn't have the budget to go on a tour to Kangaroo Island (which I really should have, according to the pictures I have seen...), so I can't yet write SA off my to-see list, but what I've seen just gave me enough to actually want to come back.
