<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Perhaps once or twice I may have mentioned how much I love Rapid Bay. I personally believe this part of our coastline is a somewhat forgotten treasure with so many people opting for more commercial places to visit on the weekend within that 1-2 hours drive radius around Adelaide. The first … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Ok so it’s the start of winter and as the water gets colder the neoprene gets thicker, the gloves get donned and the hood gets worn in a kind of claustrophobic sufferance.
