Day 2 Tanunda Hi folks, I've been told it is my turn to rave on tonight. Have a look a last night's dinner. The yabbies were wonderful and I must say the bucket on the floor of the caravan to catch the shells was a brilliant idea. Not very elegant but very efficient. Today we went to only 2 wineries, Domain Day in Williamstown, just a short drive from here and Jacob's Creek. Domain Day was very interesting and Ray found a lovely red, Saperavi, which was n...

Day 1 Tanunda Spent the morning wandering the town and talking to the locals. This is one of the most friendly towns we have visited. If we ever dsappear from Mooroopna this would be a likely place to look. After unloading the mornings spoils we ventured out for some wine tasting and found some marvellous wines.

Beautiful sunny day in Whyalla. Did the shareholders inspection on a guided tour of the steelworks. Very impressive and brought back memories of Port Kembla. Had fish and chips for lunch and a lazy afternoon with a "nanna nap". Moving to Tanunda in the Barossa tomorrow after a detour to Port Wakefield for one last go at a seaside town.

Arrived in Whyalla and the sun is shining for the first time in 10 days. Here for 2 days before travelling to the Barossa. Have a good spot on the foreshore. Tomorrow we are going on a tour of the steelworks. Shareholders taking an interest.
