Beachport to Meningie.

We thought we had a large rabbit caught under the floor.
Our famous & dedicated Mechanics - Rob, Geoff & Chris had diagnosed a "Centre Bearing" had a ruptured boot around the bearing.

Drove carefully from Meningie to "Old Tailem Town Pioneer Village" for a car show & morning tea. Great place to visit.

"Smedley Tyre Service" fitted us into their busy work schedule & fixed the "Centre Bearing" at no charge. Absolute Legends.

Next drove to the "Wellington ferry" & across the Murray River to the "Wellington Hotel" for lunch without "Thumper" the rabbit under the floor. Spectacular place to sit & ponder your naval.

Next drove to Middleton for dinner at the "Middleton Tavern". Great food & drinks.
