The FIAT-Lancia Car Club of South Australia

We all agreed that Peter Taylor would not want us to stop enjoying our cars and the roads through the lovely Adelaide Hills, so we set off on a great drive to Meadows to try out a new cafe – Mawson House.
A record 34 people turned out, and all the cars wore black bands to show our respect for Peter. But there was still a measure of joviality in the group, as Peter would certainly have wished, and Mawson House Cafe proved to be quite a revelation.

With a rather threatening sky we set off for Willunga via one of our favourite hills roads – Range Road to the top of Willunga Hill. The Farm at Willunga is a delightful little winery restaurant, and a great breakfast was had by all.

Aldinga Airport itself was a revelation – a tour of the facility and the amazing light planes they have, topped off with one of the best coffees you will get anywhere, enjoyed while watching biplanes coming and going. Thanks Terry for organising the visit.

For July, we had a reasonably short drive along Range Rd, finishing up at “The Gully” – the newly renovated Tea Tree Gully Hotel.

As well as our FIATS, there were British, German and Japanese cars represented, and both the venue and the breakfast were great.
