One of the places we've always wanted to visit is Adelaide. On our way there this time, we spent a night in Robe, which is 3 hours away from Adelaide. It was such peaceful little coastal town, right there by the open water.

It was a long drive... and the kids had to be kept happy. Reegan was dead serious reading his tiny little book. He really enjoys these little books, looking at the pictures and mumbling and tapping his little index finger at them, as if relating them to his personal experience.



Meredith was very kind to lend him her Gameboy... looking like a pro here, he was merely staring at some static images... nonetheless having what seemed the best times though...


The motel we checked in was everything it promised... view, rainwater as drinking water, peaceful... We missed the sunset but caught sunrise the following morning...room by the lake...

Robe meant a little more to us because it was here, at the bay, the treacherous and unpredictable bay, where the early Chinese gold diggers, determined in every sense of the word, had landed and walked on land to the goldfields... that was a very very far distance!


The morning we went exploring Robe, it was cold and very windy... of course, its right there by the open water...

We visited the old goal (jail), which had only 3 cells... of course, for this tiny little town... Not sure of the population then, but now, there are only about 1000 people living in Robe.



This is what I meant by open treacherous water. Its rough. But beautiful in its own way... very beautiful... brrr...I can still remember the constant strong and cold wind...

Robe was actually more enjoyable than Adelaide. It's such a lovely little town...
