The Lovely Valley Brewing Company was something we discovered on our last trip to Adelaide. It is a small brewery in a very small town. However, it is a town I personally am very familiar with as it is on the road that used to lead to my grandparent's (on my Dad's side) house at Carickalinga, so I have driven through the town an immeasurable number of times.
The brewery is still expanding and seems to be doing well. Their range of beverages has expanded since we were there last, and we proceeded to taste quite a few. We bought 2 cases of beers, 1 for immediate consumption and one for Callum's party next Sunday.
While in Myponga we saw a sign that said that the cars involved in the Adelaide Classic Car Rally would be at Yankalilla Oval today. The rally is an annual event that sees cars from various years race through the hills of Adelaide. The cars range from latest model Ferrari's, through to 1970's muscle cars, to really early model Porsches etc. So we decided to drive a little further south to the town of Yankalilla, also on the road to Carickalinga. We hung out for a little while and saw probably close to 100 cars come through the rest stop where the drivers got out and talked to the locals. It was all very casual as today was a touring stage of the rally (as opposed to a timed stage where how fast they go actually counts).
On the way back to Adelaide we stopped for a late lunch at the Victory Hotel, which is perched on a hill overlooking the far southern beaches of Adelaide - very nice spot indeed. However, I for some reason decided it was so nice, I didn't take a single picture. Hard to believe, I know.
Jen managed to get a couple of odd looks at the Victory, as she was coincidentally wearing a shirt that had the word "Victory" across the front in large letters - it is the pink/brown one in the photo above. Her shirt is actually from the Victory Brewing Company that she visited in Pennsylvania on her trip back in July.
