Weekly Wrap 787: A late (lack of) news from Adelaide

A two-car diesel multiple unit train approaches a railway station platform in the golden hour of evening sunlight. It has a flat red nose and is otherwise fluted metal, with a grass green band along the windows. The door frames are edged with safety yellow. In the background is a huge eucalypt tree and a moody sky.

My week of Monday 23 to Sunday 29 June 2025 saw the start of a semi-holiday which will eventually total six nights in my home town of Adelaide. I won’t go into the details now, because this is being posted four days late. Rather, I’ll post a few images and some commentary on the coming weekend, and later there will be a podcast. But hey it’s Adelaide, so there’s obviously plenty of good food and wine.
