Out & About in Quorn

After settling in at the local caravan park this afternoon, pitching our swags and enjoying a delicious lunch of salad rolls, we rolled slightly more casually into the main township of Quorn.

Julie had spotted a local Gymkhana being run at the show grounds, so we pulled our two-wheeled steeds up there to see some pretty impressive riding from everyone from 8 year old girls to 30 something jackeroos.

Peddling slowly through the main streets of the town reminded Pete of the truly fine SA architecture that dates back more than 100 years. The old mill, pubs, courthouse and the houses are definitely worth a closer look.

At 4pm on a Sunday afternoon not much was open. But our eyes were attracted to 2 heavily laden bikes tricked up with panniers, gps, the works. We wandered into the aptly named Cafe Flinders Bikes & Bytes. Website. We were superbly looked after by Katie, who not only delivered a delicious cuppa and brownies, but also pointed out a couple of key stop-offs for us on tomorrow's longer (100 km) leg to Rawnsley Park Station. If you in Quorn, stop in at 43 First Street and say g'day.
