Without becoming too much of an auzzy bore…here are a couple of postcards I found showing how big this place is. I had never really thought too much about the country apart from Neighbours, Harry Cool / Viduka and of course Tim ‘God’ Cahill. Since being to Ramsey Street and similar vital travel around Auz it does dawn on you that this place is massive.

and…

Plus the classic beer mats. How else do you tell people to drink your beer?

Australia is ace.

A couple of weeks back I headed down to Adelaide with Amy to visit a few of her relatives and to taste the wine from the surrounding area. Adelaide is in South Australia and is quite a small city however it is the only ‘big place’ for a few hundred miles around.

We stayed in the delightful Pine Tree Cottage in Wilunga , which has Fox Creek and several other wineries on its door step. Driving around the countryside there looked like the following picture – long straight roads, hardly any traffic and lots of vines!

Mclaren Vale

Shottesbrook Vineyard – Excellant Shiraz and Port!
