Roll on 2015 - Noarlunga Library visit

No rest for the TARDIS, we're just over a week into 2015 and the phonebox was on the move yet again. After a super hot week, with the very unpopular bushfire coming to within 5km of the TARDIS at home, followed by a couple days of constant downpour, I'm sure the TARDIS was happy to be transported somewhere indoors for a while!









Libraries in SA that participate in the Summer Reading Club often have events and programs based on the broad theme. This year's theme is 'Choose your own adventure' and what better way to encapsulate that with Doctor Who and his TARDIS? Onkaparinga Library Service's Noarlunga branch hired the TARDIS in January taking pride of place on the Library's ground floor.
(It's actually still there for another 7 days when this post was published.)

As previously mentioned, there are plans in place for a replacement TARDIS. Every outing causes further cosmetic and sometimes structural damage, and the wear is really starting to show. Check out the Where's the TARDIS? Facebook page for all of the details regarding repairs and what's coming next.

All things going to plan, this version may go out once or twice more before being semi-retired.

Of Weddings and Ports

It's been a hectic couple of months for the TARDIS!

The South Parklands - great location

Over half the attendees got into the spirit of
the day, cosplaying a variety of characters

After the floor rebuild, it went straight back on duty featuring in it's first wedding!

A very geeky affair, it stood as the backdrop as a pair of lovely nerds agreed to the terms and conditions of marriage.




Adelaide's South Parklands turned out to be in perfect condition, as was the weather, and with ample parking right out front. A absolute must given how unwieldy the TARDIS is to transport.





Following the wedding we'd decided to continue TARDISing that day with a trip down to Port Adelaide's historic wool packing area for some photos.

The location and lighting couldn't have been better! Crozier street has some glorious rustic buildings from the late 19th century which formed the perfect backdrop. 

Seventh Doctor costumer Ben came along for some laughs, posing as the Doctor with the TARDIS and popping out to surprise passers by. The bus driver's reaction was gold.
