Each day is a potential surprise at the Highway 1 Tourist Park in Adelaide. I never really know who is going to drop in. Today it was the Dunmowin's.

Just a heads up people, after attending a Lions club meeting the other day they reported that on their agenda is a new free camp in Barmera S.A. Riverland.
