Day 3 Broken Hill to Hahndorf


"Morning has Broken.. 
Like the First Morning" 

and If you are awake at 6:30 am you were treated to an Outback Sunrise.

By 7:30 we were already in Broken Hill and at our first Off Train Experience for the day.

And what an experience it was!  
An interesting and amusing talk on using Native Ingredients from the Chef at the Tipsy Camel.
Followed by Bingo and a Floor show led by Broken Hill's very own Shelita and Amanda - 
What They could do in 6" Platforms and even higher hair was amazing.

(Kudos to Them for being SO glamourous at 7:00am!)
By 9:00 am we were back on Board and off to Breakfast. 
Will it be a Full Breakfast, Scrambled Eggs with Hot Smoked Trout or something lighter? Crumpets with Fresh Berries & Mascarpone!
Coffee, Tea Fresh Juice anyone?

With nowhere to stop between Broken Hill and Adelaide, you chat with other travellers, join in a hand of cards or learn to play UNO and watch the scenery go past while enjoying a Cocktail.  

Here is 2 Challenges for you.
1.  Ask the Bartender to make an LLB that looks like a 'Grown-up drink' 
2. Try drinking this on a moving train and not spill any!

Finally arriving in Adelaide we were transferred to Coaches for the 30 minute drive to Hahndorf. 
It is Australia's Oldest surviving German Settlement.

First Stop for Wine & Cheese Tasting at The Lane Vineyard.


And Finishing off the Day with Bavarian Hospitality at HAUS.

Bring a sense of Fun and a Very Big Appetite!


Between courses we were treated to some Fun Facts about Bavarian Culture and a Performance from Uber Oompah.

And, of course Stowaway Frog made some New Friends!











(FYI- the cocktail of choice for everyone this trip? Espresso Martini.)
