Sunday 16th February’s run to Softwood Farm
Written by Cintra Amos
On Sunday 16 February 40 AMOC members gathered in the Victoria Hotel carpark before setting off on a leisurely cruise through the Fleurieu Peninsula.
Among the group was the stunning purple Aston Martin Valour of Glenn Drayton and Deirdre Butler. This new and extremely rare car (world-wide production of only 110 vehicles) features a V12 engine coupled with an old-school manual gearbox.
After a recent very hot spell, it was lovely to enjoy some milder weather as we enjoyed our cruise organised by Julia and Grant White to the award-winning “Swagman Restaurant” at the Softfoot Country Alpaca Farm. The day was fully-subscribed and we filled the restaurant!
Housed in a converted shearing shed overlooking Highland Valley, we all enjoyed a convivial afternoon of delicious slow food including a variety of bush foods sourced from their own garden, where some members took a stroll after lunch.
