The tram was crowded, it always is when leaving the city, but almost empty when we left Glenelg, crowded again by the time we reached Rundle Mall.<br />I'd enjoy living at the beach in winter as long as the door and window seals were effective to keep out draughts. I'd enjoy watching the waves crashing when it's stormy. I remember walking out on Semaphore jetty during a storm when I lived there, it was exhilarating.<br /><br />Tracy; I love the ocean and would live even closer if I could.<br /><br />Yvonne Kirk; welcome to drifting. I do like ship statues and real ships too. I've often sat on the beach near the Port and watched the big ships coming and going and there's an old sailing ship moored there too, I don't remember the name of it, but I have photos somewhere in my files. <br />I'll pop over and have a look at your Sunday Selections.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-9877760467834756492015-11-22T12:03:48.416+10:302015-11-22T12:03:48.416+10:30This could just be an urban legend or rumor but I ...This could just be an urban legend or rumor but I heard the guy who made Magic Mountain spent several months on the beach telling them to add a little more concrete here, or there.<br /><br />I loved the carousel they had in there, plus, SKEE BALL. I played so much skee ball as a kid.. ;) But I did not love the dodgem cars on which I once injured my wrist quite badly. And those sky bikes, they were super fun!<br /><br />I went back to Adelaide this week myself, to the zoo - I see you already popped over, River.. ;) <a href="http://www.snoskred.org/2015/11/sunday-selections-week-47.html" rel="nofollow">Sunday Selections Week 47</a>Snoskredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08934143064049972234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-5030212582765619172015-11-22T11:56:11.242+10:302015-11-22T11:56:11.242+10:30Wonderful ship there.. not enough ship statues :)

Unsettled, uncivilised, miles and miles of unrecognisable bushland plants, months of searing heat with little rain, not to mention hordes of tiny bush flies. <br /><br />Lee; a seagull or three? Surely you mean three dozen :) I don't know anything about the Corfu La Mancha apartments, I just took the photo in case any readers here were interested in a beach holiday. I'm wondering now though if they are so named because the building is white, on a beach, similarity to overseas holiday apartments. <br /><br />Mohave Rat; we have plenty of gorgeous flowers here in Adelaide; it's a great place for roses, and it's almost summer here now, so everything is blooming and colourful.<br />I have a song for you and Mrs. Rat on my post tomorrow.

Were they built and owned by a Greek-Spanish company/family?<br /><br />(One of the best pairs of jeans I had (years ago) were a pair of cream Corfu jeans...until they got splattered in mud...but that's another story that I will tell one day on my blog) :)<br /><br />How nice if all fences were as pretty as that one you've shown here....lovely.<br /><br />Have yourself a great week, River...take good care...cuddles to Angel. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-11746464228234262832015-11-22T06:49:19.406+10:302015-11-22T06:49:19.406+10:30Love that fence.
