 SUNNY DAY AT SUNNYBRAE
Sunnybrae is an historic property in the northern suburbs of Adelaide, tucked in behind the Coopers Brewery. The entrance is off Regency Road/Farm Road/(Galipoli Grove), and there is easy parking.
Originally a farm, the 1.8 hectare property served as a sewage farm for many years, and as an abattoirs, but is now a function centre. The interesting buildings date from the 1880s. For our group we booked a tour which included morning tea and lunch. We were well looked after for each meal, and for the intervening tour of the property.
The gardens are very attractive in spring.
A focal point is this giant 6 metre diameter flywheel, which was used as part of a compressor for the abattoirs.
The tour includes the old buildings, a display of old farm tools and machinery, and a small historic museum. We were treated well, as you can see from the contented looks.
