Xmas in Adelaide

I came down early to Adelaide to attend the funeral of Barbara's father, Max Cameron Coat.His funeral was well attended by over 180 people mainly from the local district.We saw many more of Max's friends when we attended a few days later the the Christmas party at the Iron Bank CFS, which is a popular tradition. Max was an early member and supporter of the CFS
Chloe's cousin Arielle looked cute as Ms Christmas.
