Fruit Salad and Mixed Veg

The Bay to Birdwood is held each year. This year the 'drive' was for vehicles manufactured on or before 31 December 1955. The start is by the sea and the finish is a picnic event at Birdwood, a village in the hills and home to the 'National Motor Museum'. The distance is 70km.

If you just thought 'Hey, Kimbers doesn't even like cars!' well, you're right Cars don't interest me in the slightest.

Better explanation:

The Bay to Birdwood Run for historic motoring vehicles, is the largest most continually staged event of its kind anywhere in the world with an average of 1500-1600 entrant vehicles including cars, motorcycles, trucks and vans.

What did you do on Sunday? I sat on the side of a road with a glass of wine and watched cars drive past


Happy looking people in a green car




The event is not just for cars. If you own an old bike or FIRE ENGINE, you can probbaly enter


Someone didn't want their photo taken...probably knew it would end up on a blog and wanted to protect his identity

I don't know what to write about...I started writing something but I don't think anyone would have found it funny...so I deleted it. Hmm I'm not sure what to write about.

Well, what's been happening in Adelaide lately?

Tristram Cary, who has died in Adelaide, aged 82, came up with the idea of electronic and tape music while a naval radar officer during World War II. Link to source

I am soooo stylish


Woah, 2 Learner signs! I was bad and only had 1...

My sister's church is raising money to build a new church. They need 1 million $s and think they will get this from the 300 something people that go there. They've come up with some suggestions of how everyone can help: Try a part-time job for one month, give share dividens, have a garage sale, include the church in your will (errr, that means you have to DIE first)

Hmm...this blog-post is LAME! I bet my sheep could write a better one! It knows how to use the internet WOAH!

Just a few tips to make you a good, safe driver! I can't believe my driving teacher never told me about these 3 important points!!!


Be careful of other cars in the carpark. Don't park too close to them and don't hit them! (I'm the car in the green circle)

Don't smoke in the car on the way to Merritt, BC. Smoking can damage your lungs AND car. Bet the doctor didn't tell you that...

Drink 8 glasses of water a day and try to hold it in as long as possible. When driving down to this valley near Squamish BC, the brakes may become hot. You will need to use the water you drank earlier to cool the brakes down...

My dad and I drove to Murray Bridge on Thursday, with me behind the wheel and my dad talking on the phone, trying to instruct me at the same time...


As I didn't want to hang around some office for 3 hours, I decided I would walk around. However, that meant I had to park the car first... I parked too close to the white car and nearly hit it...I managed to get out of the car, but when it was time for my dad to get behind the wheel...he couldn't get in! He went back to the passener side and climbed over the gear bit to get behind the wheel


There are lots of little, uninteresting shops in Murray Bridge. There's one called Neds which is a craft/gift shop which was filled with Christmas junk. Yes, I call it junk becasue once Christmas has finished it all goes into the bin...well it does here anyway. The main street has lots of bins and chairs. Why so many chairs? Well, after 10 minutes you would have seen everything this town has to offer, so you need somewhere to sit until it's time to go home.


The main shopping centre has a very unfriendly atmosphere, the stairs are marked from people's shoes and there's a Steve Irwin cardboard cut out near the door. In the shopping centre, there is a bookshop. The bookshop was probably the most interesting thing in the town-they should put it in a tourist brochure. Why buy books when you can read them in the store? According to Lonely Planet, there's a spice shop in Hamburg that's really good and there's a book about emos too.

Usually, parks are quiet, relaxing places. In Murray Bridge there are two parks near the mainstreet, both of which are near a noisy intersection. They're not the palce for picnics or BBQs and this is proved by the fact that there IS NO BBQ!


You'd be glad to know Murray Bridge has electricty. Does the author of this blog have any proof? Well, yes, this voltage box...or perhaps it's a pretend voltage box.. It's a strange shade of brown and you can stand on it if you want to see stuff...though there's not much to see.


The community art gallery is not the place for lovers of art. If you like looking at ametuer sketches, then visit the gallery, if not don't go there! If you like bargains, there's a Salvation Army store in the town. There you can buy a 1970s red velvet couch, ancient National Geographic magazines and dusty glass bowls.

You can really tell that no architectual thought went into the designing/landscaping of the road in/out of Murray Bridge. The McDonalds is positioned too far from the main street.


This is the view from a high bit of the free-way. Everything is dying so if you like the colours wheaty-yellow and brown, you should build a Summer house along the free-way


If you're driving to a cemetery in the country, there's no need to buy flowers. You can just pick some from the side of the road and prove your Aussie-scabiness.


This is the 'real' Australia that you wont see in travel books.
