We started heading off to Jamestown. James, of course, had to have his picture taken with the Jamestown signpost :-).
It wasn't a long drive to Jamestown and when we arrived, James had to take photos with the sign again.
We stopped at the local bakery and bought some yummy coffee scrolls. We also had a look at the Jamestown Butcher, the oldest running butcher shop in South Australia, and bought some 'old fashioned bacon' (which was delicious!).
Jamestown is the birth place of the icon Australian R.M. Williams. I was planning to buy some R.M. Williams stuff from Jamestown, but was disappointed to find that they didn't even have a stockist there! So no R.M. Williams products for me! :-(
There is a R.M. Williams statue and information at the local park, so we had a look at that before leaving Jamestown.
We continued on to Spalding and stopped at the local pub to have a drink.
The publican was very friendly. He showed us a collection he is working on setting up in one of the hallways. It was a work in progress. It is a collection of barb wire from around the world, and is apparently, one of the only full collections of barb wire in Australia and is going to be featured on ABC Landline and the R.M. Williams magazine (according to the publican that is!).
Eventually the barb wire hallway is going to look awesome! I felt quite lucky to be able to see it before it was finished :-)
After the little detour to Spalding, we drove to Mintaro, a lovely little historical town. We were going to stay there but there was nothing available! We did some wine tastings and then continued onto Clare, situated in the wine region of Clare Valley.
Next stop tomorrow, Waikerie, SA
