Tasting expensive wine
Yep, plenty of koalas – and also lots of beautiful birds visited us in our treehouse at Wye River – a gorgeous view of the sea through the gum trees – and the lorikeets, parrots, rosellas, kookaburras and cockatoos keeping us company on our deck. We also saw kangaroos, wallabies and emus on our drive through through the Grampians – i bet they were finding it cold, it got down to 5 degrees.
We’re leaving the southern Australian winter for 2 weeks, heading north to Cairns, checking out the Barrier Reef. Yesterday we visited 5 wineries in the Barrossa Valley, so we’ll have to declare our purchases when we land back in the UK. I had tasted so many different wines through the afternoon, that I turned down wine with my evening meal – one of the wines I tasted (at Wolf Blass) sells for $169 a bottle, which is just over 100 pounds (there’s no pound sign on this Aussie laptop!).
