Gala Goolwa

Last Sunday we spent a lovely afternoon with our friends Graham and Kenneth at Goolwa. We had lunch at the Aquatic Club Cafe which was situated right on the river. As we waited for our fish 'n' chips to arrive we noticed a number of wooden boats sail up and dock at the small jetty in front of the cafe. Soon they all headed out to water again and then a horn sounded and a race began. Free entertainment. Other entertainment flew in too, in the form of pelicans. Graham grabbed my camera and took the marvelous photos you can see below. After lunch we wandered around town. An interesting spot was the boat restorers shed just down the road and of even more delight were two home's front yards next to each other in suburban Goolwa. I thought the lone colourful Mexican was 'Gala', as one of our friends might put it.
