We plan to leave about 7am which will be more like 7:30 but the idea is good. Stop off at Burra for breakfast, maybe a stop at Sedan and the Bridge for fuel and lunch and brief stops at Meningie and Kingston to stretch the time out a little so we get into Robe around 4:00pm. https://goo.gl/maps/ig7XJQpYVM52
From the bend heading to Keith  better roads more stop places

Welcome to Robe!



Arrived, unloaded the bike and went to change into clothes I could walk down the street in to find I left my shoes at home.  I bought some news ones.  They weren't cheap.  Met JD and Chippy at the Chinese restaurant and JB and Dougsue at the bakery.  I went back to the Chinese restaurant for lunch.  Good food, crap beer.

It's a gorgeous day.  My only other Robe visit was gloomy.

I left my stash of coffee at home.  This place on has Cocklebiddy gravel dust (marketed as international roast).  Yes, I am an instant coffee snob.

I bought milk at Foodland so should have bought coffee then.  I only remembered it when I was lined up at the registers.

Pass on my regards to all at dinner tonight for me.

Early to bed tonight so I can be on the road to Lorne before 7.30 am. I have organised friends to feed my cat tomorrow while I am away.

Just went for a walk to Foodland and bought some.  Ran into Shillas on the way back.
