I spent the morning at the National Trust, and found more grave locations. Darryl walked uptown.

At 1pm I went to the 'Dressing of the graves' at Wallaroo cemetery. What this involves is honouring certain people who are buried there. Family will place memorials. None of my family were buried at Wallaroo Cemetery (as far as I know), as the Wallaroo Mines Cemetery (where mine 'are' buried is near Kadina).
We then did the self-guided historic drive around town.

| We wondered if it was going to rain - looking out towards the jetty |
 |
| The old Police Station on the left |
 |
| Wallaroo Library & Council OFfice |
 |
| Baptist Church |
 |
| Even the Primary School has historic buildings |
 |
| This church is now a holiday house |
This was followed by a delicious dinner hosted by my amicable cousin Ben at Moonta Bay, (who is not actually related through any of my SA families, but rather from a Queensland family).
