To Adelaide - land of the churches


The last leg of our trip would take us up one more mountain (just because climbing 3 wasn't enough). This one was called Mount Zero. We were told that the formation was different from the rest and as it was a bit off the beaten track, why the heck not eh?

Well, halfway through the hike it became apparent we were all questioning that decision. The mountain was only rock, with no trees to provide us shelter from the sun. As noon hit, the heat did little to subside and had it not been for the 4 litres of water we brought with us, we would have turned back.
When we did reach the top, it was definately a great site to see. Being the only ones there added to the experience compared to the several dozen of people we usually fight with to get a glimpse of the scenery.

It was then off to Adelaide. Not much to add here, though we were introduced to local authorities upon our entry into South Australia and it wasn't meant to be a warm welcome. The city of Adelaide is one of the smaller ones we have visited thus far. They are reknowned for being a city of churches and that became apparent when we did in fact see "several churches". As we arrived later in the evening, it was our task to check into a hostel and find a local church that served local beverages.

In all honesty though, there was no church but several fine establishments that served South Australia's finest brew that came with "NO PRESERVATIVES". She was called Coopers Beer.
