Farewell to Rockford - Barossa Tour [Postponed]

[Matt_01]

Well my first Rockford's tour and the last one. I guess it was not meant to happen @Buzzard thanks for letting us know.

 

[Pushka]

10 American tourists visiting Barossa Valley with a group of 18 have just tested positive. Clearly not much isolation happening as they'd arrived in last fortnight. Wonder where they visited (assuming they did until the illness hit. )

 

[I love to travel]

SA just shut the border according to ABC.

Thank you for all your work on this tour, @Buzzard and Ruby.

Dear @Buzzard ,

When you are organising this tour again, I'd like to participate. Please count me in.

Thank you @AIRwin for pointing me to this thread

Novice question perhaps - what is "Diamond" ? Does it mean, one is definitely 100% coming ?

Not sure if it has already been mentioned but the Rockford CD is now closed

Oh-oh (Lyndoch Hill winery )

Coronavirus cluster identified at winery as first SA community transmission suspected

Health authorities in SA are investigating what they have described as a small "cluster" of coronavirus cases at a Barossa Valley winery, as well as the first case believed not to be linked to travel outside the state.

Starting the get the fallout of the US tourist group of which 10 are positive for Covid. Asking people who visited a winery to attend to their health due to exposure.

It’s even worse
34 cases in Barossa from two tourist groups. USA & Swiss

Schools in the Barossa Valley region to close after 'cluster' of 34 coronavirus cases identified

Schools will shut in the Barossa Valley from Monday in the wake of SA Health raising concerns about a "cluster" of 34 positive coronavirus cases in the region. People are being urged to restrict their movement and to work from home if possible.

One possible rainbow - relaxation on the cellar door sale restriction. I'm ready to purchase in big numbers!

How did that get past the censors?

 

[FatBoyNotSoSlim]

Oh Woah, I didn't realise AFF loved Rockford as well. I try to make it over a few times a year, whenever I'm in Adelaide, and sure enough, I was picking up my Basket Press in March, the day before the US and Swiss groups with COVID were in the Barossa. Eeek.

If another trip is arranged in the future, I'd love to join in too.
