Here is this month's round-up of events in the country or outer Adelaide area. November is a perfect time to be outdoors in the lovely weather. Most events in my monthly list are within an hour or so drive to Adelaide and include Barossa, Clare, Fleurieu and the Hills.

This is a great day out if you don't have a car as the park is right near the final train stop in Gawler. This is a huge fundraiser for Rotary with many local businesses supporting the day. There will be a host of food and free entertainment for family fun. Shop for Christmas gifts at over 50 market stalls. You can also find out lots of local community information on clubs and facilities while you are there. This community event has been running for over 40 years.
