A round dozen over Adelaide

[John York]

Adelaide is of particular interest to me because in years gone by I used to ship chocolate ingredients to Australia and

the office there, it seemed to me, ordered stuff like cocoa butter (40 tons at a time), chococithin, cocoa powder etc

in huge quantities.

And that brings me to a question.  The company I worked for was Australian and had offices in the main ports both in

Australia and New Zealand.  I was employed in their London Office to ship raw and semi-raw materials to them from the

Countries in the Western hemisphere.  Does anyone know if they still exist?  Their name was Abel, Lemon & Co. (PTY) Ltd.

Don't know why but although a lovely town Adelaide doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in the forum.  Perhaps its

because its a bit heavy on performance?  Whatever it is, I hope you find these dozen shots pleasing;

We're flying Rick Piper's Foxbat today, and there it is waiting for us the other side of these buidings;

Well, that's alright, we've found the golf course

Time for a round I should think if I get it down now

I'll look forward to visiting Adelaide again on my round Australia trip, but it's a long wayfrom the York Peninsular so it'll

be quite some time in the future.

Smashing shots John, but you've made me fancy some chocolate now and I'm supposed to be on a diet 

Yep, forty tons will do cheers

cheers

Iain,

Great shots John.  As an Adelaide resident (but originally from the old Dart) Abel, Lemon & Co. (PTY) Ltd appear to no longer exist, at least not under that name.  I suspect they went the way of many others and have been absorbed into larger conglomerations.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments fellers.  Sad news about Abel Lemon Robbo.  At the time they were one of the largest company's in Australia.

Ah well, everything comes to an end sometime.
