Hello again,
We spent one day in Adelaide and that day was spent on a wine tour! We went with the Groovy Grape bus to 4 different vineyards around Barossa Valley. It was great! On the way we stopped at 'The Whispering Wall' which is a big dam. The massive curved concrete wall was built in a curve that accidentally traps sound. Ryan stood one end and I stood the other and we could hear each other just by talking and standing near the wall. We went to Jacobs Creek Winery first and after that I was well away! We went to a little local one after that and then alarger one that was set by a little river where we had BBQ in the Sun. It was lovely and the vino was flowing. After lunch we hit our 4th and final which was again very pretty and let us try which ever wines or ports we wanted... I decided to get some port in me at this point! The views all around the vineyards were gorgeous. All was great then I fell asleep for the hour journey back to town!
The following day the Groovy Grape bus came to collect us to start yet another tour... this time from Adelaide to Melbourne.
We drove into the Grampion Mountains and went to the national park where we did a few scenic stops. We walked down the side to the bottom of a massive waterfall and then went to' the balconies to view sunset over the tree covered mountains. It was beautiful. We stayed in a really cool lodge in a small town in the middle of the forest. It was like a big log cabin where I sipped on my red vino round the Log fire mmm.
The next Day we headed south to the coast and crossed another state border into Victoria. We drove through the countryside stopping for a BBQ on route. As we continued along the coast we came to 'The Great Ocean Road' which we will spend the next 2 days touring into Melbourne.
I will detail more on this in Melbourne's entry!
Lots of Love
Loz
