Clever little Tailor

Clever little Tailor is the catchy name of this Peel St wine bar which seems to cater for the local trendies. 🙂

Magnificent old building.

Glenelg to the city by tram

The tram is an easy way to travel to the heart of Adelaide city, it takes away the problem of parking your car.

Dennis and I were friends way back in 1973 when I was living in Adelaide. Two of the best years in my life. 

 My old apartment on Anzac Hwy Plympton.

I only lived here for 7 months in 1974 before being transferred to Melbourne as State manager for Sanyo Office Machines. I paid $24,000 & sold it to a friend for $31,000.
