MG Car Club of South Australia
An outing in the fascinating Fleurieu
Peninsula in the warmth of Winter Sunday
July 8 2018
Why not come along on a journey of discovery and enjoy a day in Strathalbyn and
Langhorne Creek.
We begin at 11.00AM at the beautiful and very old “Gasworks Cottages “.
This building was established in 1867 to supply the town with street lighting,
heating and coal.
One of the oldest stone buildings in Strathalbyn and it played a vital role to the local
community in its day.
We will be served a “Devonshire Tea “then given an interesting insight into the former
life of the Gasworks. A beautiful garden surrounds the property, which sits on the
banks of the ‘Angus River ‘
Strathalbyn was the first town in South Australia to be settled by the ‘Scots “
Did you know that the word STRATH means “A broad flat river “in Scottish language?
After our time here we then motor on in our marvellous MG’s to visit Langhorne
Creek, where we will be partaking Lunch at another well-known old establishment
called
Angus Plains Winery and Cellar Door.
Lunch time is at 1.00PM
Both venues offer good parking and lovely Bed & Breakfast accommodation. So, why
not make an overnight stay, or perhaps a wanderous week-end of it.
The ceiling is 30 people only, so as usual, it is first in, best dressed,
with a $10 pp deposit to secure your place.
Prices and maps to follow shortly.
