Fancy some live music on a Sunday afternoon? Drive out of the city to the relaxed historic town of Mintaro to enjoy a light lunch, your beverage of choice and music out on the airy lawn of the , Burra St, Mintaro SA 5415.

We arrived for lunch but the obliging barkeeper still rustled up chips and an exotic pumpkin salad for me. A few people were seated at outdoor tables, socially distanced and enjoying the entertainment.



The sign described the show as "Jazz", but I recognised favourite adaptions of "Sex Bomb" (originally Tom Jones), and the Lionel Ritchie / Diana Ross number one hit, "Everlasting Love". The artist had a mellow voice and cleverly provided his own accompaniment electronically.

After driving around Mintaro, we enjoyed the scenic wine drive through Clare and Auburn on the way back towards Adelaide. I recommend following the signs and sticking to the highway because, on the way up, the GPS picked an unsealed road as a "short cut".
