lol at the idea of interstate/foreign tourists lobbing up in Gawler and being told it's the Barossa

My brother is unfortunately almost disabled, with difficulty being able to walk unassisted after a bad accident.
The up side, he says, is when he sees bands in these smaller venues, he can get in to contact with management, explain his situation, and be let backstage to watch the show where it is safe for him, and get to meet the band afterwards. Has happened numerous times at the uni bar, most notably Fear Factory.
I'll ask if he had heard about this.

It's full of them. What's your point? Gawler is the gateway whether you agree or not. It's also a far nicer town than Lyndoch and Nuriootpa.

You're kidding I assume.
For those of us that live in the valley Gawler is Elizabeth North. .... Although I agree on lyndoch.

Oh, please. The Gawler bypass and the Thiele Highway are the gateways, at best.

I guess having lived in all three and being from overseas and bringing people here from overseas regularly means I'm not qualified to answer that.

Jeez

You are entitled to that opinion up the valley. Those from the south are usually clueless.

Ha ha

Watching locals with goon bags and cones on the middle of South Gawler oval interrupting our game of cricket is a fond memory of mine.

I'll admit that I had a decent breakfast there last year on my way to a BBQ at some place more civilised. (Kersbrook)

At least it isn't a dog track...

PS. I've put a couple on the railway line there

It's a postage stamp so the train tracks always in danger. Used to be interesting playing footy out of the goal square with the locals fully charged up on red tins

Yes the dog track is much more of a hole.

Can't remember his name, but there was a big left armer that used to play out there. Used to push them through, but I was only a young fella.

And the Bevis boys from memory too...

All I remember about Gawler was you could buy Golden North ice cream there

Flashback... Robins.

John ?

Wasn't he a big full forward. May have been the guy that lived in the caravan park for 'import rule' reasons

Edit: yep - http://sgfc.net.au/history/in-the-beginning/origins-of-the-sgfc/

South were to suffer from such draconian measures in 1995, when the club was fined $1000 and our A Grade was stripped of twelve premiership points after the league found senior player John Robins to be in breach of the import rule. The league judged that South were “playing an A Grade player whilst his residential address was outside a defined ‘local player’ boundary”, deregistering Robins for the remainder of the 1995 season.

Interesting year that year. Reckon they still nearly made the finals ...
