Diggers Bistro at Comfort Inn, Anzac Highway, Glenelg

The 1st Australian Veterans Over 70s Cricket Championships was held in Adelaide from 4 - 9 November 2017.

Many members of Victorian teams stayed at the Comfort Inn on Anzac Highway, Glenelg. The motel is within easy walking distance to the shops and Glenelg Beach.
The Diggers Bistro, at the motel, keeps with the Anzac theme with stencils depicting scenes from the First World War on the windows.
Inside are war related images such as this coloured glass depiction of men on horseback. This is one of a pair of coloured glass images hanging on the back wall of the restaurant.
One of the walls has a pair of framed prints including this one of the cliffs at Anzac Cove.
A collection of Anzac biscuit tins and Anzac memorabilia is displayed on a cabinet.
Most of our evening meals were at the motel.
