Trip to Australia October 2023 - Part 5 - Port Adelaide and Semaphore

 A nostalgic visit for my younger sister, Emma, visiting childhood haunts.   The port and Semaphore were places the family visited when they first moved to Adelaide as they lived not too far away.   I had never been there before, but both my sisters said the port had changed.    The part of the port we went to is obviously undergoing change and going upmarket with some new-build properties overlooking the harbour.   We all felt the place could do with some restaurants and coffee shops.  The only one we could find was closed for the afternoon.

We came across some street art on the side of buildings overlooking building sites.

Polesden Lacey is the first National Trust property to be open every day  (apart from 'staff training' days which turned out to be an AGM at Dorking ...
