Dion birthday

21 January 2019

My son, Dion, turned a quarter of a century. He has been so busy rehearsing a musical for which he wrote the music, will be playing piano and singing that a short celebration dinner was held at Thai Pothong in Newtown with family. Thai Pothong is an experience with great quality food, great decor and wonderful service.

With singing waiters and a birthday desert.

We finished off the night at a favourite local pub the Courthouse Hotel

And played some pool.

Dion’s Musical is “Dorian Gray Naked” and will be on at the Limelight on Oxford Theatre, Oxford Street Darlinghurst. Perhaps you will join me during 30 January 2019 to 16 February 2019.

Kingston

The home of Larry the Lobster

The Cape Jaffa Lighthouse

There was no accommodation in Kingston so I tried the next town 45 kilometres down the road, Robe.

Robe is a lovely historical fishing village with many heritage listed buildings.

Custom House

Our Lady Star of the Sea Chapel

This Chinese memorial is for the 16,500 Chinese who landed at Robe between 1856 and 1858 and walked 200 miles to the goldfields.

Adelaide and Belair National Park

27 and 28 December 2018

Simon took me to the best Vietnamese restaurant ever in Adelaide, simply named The Vietnam Restaurant.

Next morning Simon showed me where to find koalas in the wild. The Belair National Park has the most koalas I have ever seen in one place. It was so exciting to find them in the trees in their natural habitat.Koala video

The park has a section of 700 cherry trees to commemorate the Allied victory of World War I.
