Adelaide Seaside Suburbs

Adelaide runs along the coast for about 50 kms. So we have quite a few seaside suburbs. The older ones are very charming, but it's real nice to drive along the coast stopping every now and then to soak up the atmosphere.

I was born at Largs Bay
Tim

great to see the photos of Largs - I was born there in the 1950s - my grandparents lived on the esplanade - it was a big part of my life. I remember how busy and bustling the Port and semaphore road were as shopping and commercial centres. The train went down the street at Semaphore. and a bloke would ring a hand bell to warn traffic and pedestrians. Jetty road Largs was where I'd go with my nana to shop, that was untill they opened the big Coles new world at Semaphore. great photos, goood memories. thanks John Goodall

Tim, These photos brought back memories of our Trip to that area last year. Wonderful scenery and just a lovely place to relax. Makes me want to go back again soon.

Pretty nice
This place looks real nice for a bike ride or just to enjoy a peaceful time. I like places like that. Do you have any yellow sand in that area of Australia? PS.- thanks for your comments on my articles!
