This bookshop is a bit hard to find, in a small street behind the main street of Strathalbyn, but a bit of a surprise when you walk in.
It is neatly set out, with thousands of books for sale, stacked in shelves and labelled in categories to make it a bit easier to find what you are looking for, with a separate 'novel' section toward the back of the store.
The quality of the books was fairly high, I couldnt see any tatty or damaged books.
I found it a bit difficult to find prices on some of the books I looked at, I didnt want to keep asking, so just put some back on the shelf. Prices on what I could find were not necessarily cheap, but the quality is mostly as-new.

This is an online store selling through eBay. I recently purchased a book I had been looking for from this store.
They have a good selection of second hand items; books, computer games, magazines, games and toys, videos & DVDs, records/CDs etc. (even some old cameras, if you're a collector).
At the moment they have over 600 items for sale, all with a buy-it-now price, rather than auction-style. All are listed with free postage, so this cost is obviously accounted for in the sell price, so you know straight away what the item will cost you.
The book I bought is in very good condition, just as described, and I received it through the post within a few days of purchase. At only $5 including postage, I thought this was a bargain.
They have a 100% positive feedback rating from customers, with over 5000 ratings, so have a proven reliability record.

Approximate cost: $5 post-free

We stayed 4 nights in our caravan on a powered site. Nice, big park, quiet location (apart from all the birds), with heaps of native trees, so plenty of shade. It has a real country bush feel, nice flat sites, some cement, mostly dirt or bark; we were tucked in under some mallee trees, nice size site.
The amenities block was kept nice and clean, good size, central to park. Office and small store open long hours.
Facilities include a swimming pool, playground, jumping pillow, games room, bbqs, beautiful new tennis court, and a boom gate for security. Great area for kids, nice long driveway, so a good distance from the road.
The managers were very friendly and knowledgeable on local facilities, services and attractions. There was also quite a lot of cabins on-site of different sizes and types, all looked modern and tidy.
Enjoyed our stay here. Close to local beaches and the McLaren Vale wine area.

Approximate cost: $33 per night (2 people) less 10% if Big 4 member.

We stopped here for a cool drink the other day while having a drive along the beaches down south of Adelaide. Came across this colourful little cafe on the Esplanade.
The lady who served us was so lovely and friendly, but then, with a beautiful view out over the sea and along the coast, it would be hard to be unhappy.
We did not try the food, but they had an extensive dine-in and takeaway menu, including breakfast, and the prices looked reasonable. I think it was licensed as well.
And the colours and feel of the place is relaxed and 'beachey'.

This park in Nuriootpa is a really nice area to relax, have a barbeque, family get-together, wedding, bike ride, walk (with or without the dog). There is a lake area (dry at the moment) and large grassed areas, shade trees, electric coin-operated BBQs, picnic tables, shelters (one quite large), toilets, paved bike and walking tracks etc.
Also on the site are the Barossa Bush Gardens, with walking tracks and 7 different areas over 7 hectares, including an eremophila garden, CFS fire-wise garden, Sensory garden, Truly Aussie garden etc. Nice area, donation entry.
And also the Barossa Bush Chapel, an interdenominational open worship area, nicely set up with wooden pews, gardens around and set among the gum trees near the creek, suitable for weddings, funerals, church services, (whatever) and a donation box on site also.
The park is open free-of-charge every day and closes at dusk and you can drive your car in.

Approximate cost: $free or donation.

My mother suggested we meet for lunch here the other day. My parents have eaten here several times and said it was very nice.
Unfortunately, this time, we were quite disappointed.
Five of us all had toasted turkey and cranberry foccaccias and various coffees (i.e. cappuccino, espresso etc.).
The foccaccias were still quite cold and the bread was so hard that a couple of us couldnt cut through them, so they were left half eaten. And none of the coffees were hot, rather luke warm.
At about $15 for coffee and foccaccia, not cheap for the serving size (and sliced turkey meat), but would have been OK if it was nice.
The staff were friendly and its a nice setting, next to Wohlers Furniture store, the food even looked nice in the glass display counter.
You can access the cafe from inside the Wohlers store, or directly from the main street, down the lane next to Wohlers.
My mum apologized for taking us here, but we still enjoyed our get-together; as she said, it had been quite good before.
So, maybe we will give them the benefit-of-the-doubt; they were just having an off day!

Approximate cost: $15 sandwich/foccaccia & coffee.

My wife and I had tea here tonight with our son and his girlfriend. We arrived a few minutes before 8pm, without a booking. It was very busy and full, but the hostess was very friendly and attempted to accommodate us. She did her best, but did not think she could fit us in; we thanked her, said that was OK, were out the door, when she chased us down the steps and said that a goup were just leaving and therefore we could be seated.
I was impressed by this, as it would have been so much easier for her to just turn us away, and we were not treated as nuisances or scolded for not making a booking.
We were even moved to a nicer table with a view out over the Southern Vales, ocean and lights, when it became available.
The hotel is very nice, with indoor and outdoor areas, impressive views, as mentioned, and was very comfortable on an extremely warm evening.
And our meals were also very nice, well cooked, nicely presented and good-size serves. Prices were reasonable as well. There is also a front bar area, with great views out over the ocean and vales.
A nice, relaxing hotel; pleasant, friendly staff; we would definitely eat here again.

Approximate cost: $19 to $26

This antique store is very well laid out. It is a large warehouse-style building. It is nice and neat, with wide aisles so that you can move easily up and down and view the items for sale. Things are not cluttered or packed on top of each other, like some places.
They have a lot of books, furniture, glassware, crockery, china, garage and petrol items, farm items and various other collectables. Even an old sulky, in good condition.
There are also some nice display cases with collections for display, not sale, such as petrol company items, oil cans, old household products, tin toys etc.
Not all items are second-hand. They have a large selection of restoration items, such as brass etc. door/cupboard knobs, handles, hinges, rails etc, furniture polishes and restorers and local produce, such as jams, preserves, soaps, lollies, handicrafts etc., etc., etc.
It was a 44 degree day when I was there, but the building was still cool, with air conditioning and fans spread throughout the building.
Prices seemed to be reasonable for a lot of the items I looked at, not through the roof, like some places.
This antique and collectables store is well worth a look, well presented and accessible. Easy to spend an hour here.

This is a really nice and clean bakery in Paringa, just across the river from Renmark, on the Sturt Highway. They have apparently recently moved premises from a couple of doors down (there is still a sign on the old shop saying they have moved). The new shop seems to be a lot bigger than the old shop, and more modern.
I bought lunch here today, a chicken salad roll for $6 (good value), made with real chicken pieces and a generous amount of salad, including cucumber and carrot. They had a nice range of pastries etc (vanilla slice wasn't bad!), and pies & pasties in a pie warmer on the counter.
The display counter and serving area are at one end of the double-width store and the other end has about 6 or 7 tables in a cafe area for sitting and eating in. There were quite a number of people seated in this area and it was roomy, clean, tidy with nice large windows looking out to the main street.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Worth turning off the Highway and up the main street, to stop at this bakery and cafe, if you are travelling between Adelaide and Mildura.

Approximate cost: $9.40.

This is a busy little cafe in the Riverland Plaza at Berri. There is seating in front of the cafe and more tables across the Plaza walkway.
It is a clean store and the staff are very friendly. I was told by a friend that there were 3 generations of family members working there the day he took me in for a coffee. Run by the daughter, with her mum and son there as well. They welcomed him as a weekly regular and made us feel important and valued customers.
The coffee was very good, my friend has a coffee called 'Rest In Peace' (very strong!) and the rolls, sandwiches and pastries were also very tempting.
This is a nice place to relax for a while when shopping in the Plaza, and, my friend told me he goes out of his way to visit this coffee shop.
