South Australia Indulgence

Our last stop was Sew and Sew Wines but by this point I was a bit wined out so instead I got a beer from the nearby Penny Red Beer Co while the others did a tasting.

Lovely to see it all green and lush

Yes the area was quite green. The tour guide said that they are in what he calls a green drought. They’ve had enough winter rain to green things up but are still technically in drought.

Early 5:00am start this morning (Tuesday) for our Kangaroo Island trip. The weather’s not looking too promising though ️

That is the understatement of the year. The weather is cough today. Sorry

We really enjoyed a trip to the McLaren Vale wineries, a bit more low key than the Barossa.
Your food pictures looked yummy.
I hope the weather improves for you today.

Nope. It isn't.

Just on the ferry now and the trip home is looking pretty rough. Storms are around us and the seas have picked up considerably. Luckily we had a fairly good day. Cloudy but very little rain.

Thanks @ellen10. We do a Barossa tour tomorrow so it will be interesting to compare.

Lucky we went to KI yesterday. All the morning sailings have been cancelled today due to strong winds and big seas.

It is blowing a gale in Adelaide today. Quite unusual for this time of the year.

Enjoy the Barossa

It’s funny because I have lived in the Barossa region for the majority of life so know many involved in the industry and yet I reckon we only visit the wineries maybe once or twice every couple of years usually when friends or rellies stay with us

that's because you're too busy gallivanting around the rest of the world

Some photos from our KI trip.

First stop Seal Bay



Then on to the Remarkables.

Great photos @Scash, love the colours. You were fortunate with the weather.

Exactly right about the weather especially on KI

After the Remarkables we stopped for lunch but can’t remember where! There was nothing much there apart from the restaurant but food was good. We then headed to Admirals Arch to see the long nosed fur seals. We were up on the boardwalk so the seals were hard to photograph.

This fella had a tough trek to get to his hidey hole!



And some great views.

The Barossa will win hands down.
