South Coast Australia – Part 4 – Wine and then home
Amazing Shiraz in the Barossa Valley, a luxury stay and some delicious wines in the Yarra Valley, Kangaroos in the wild and on our plate, and an unwanted ‘adventure’ to get home…

Comedy, culture and a dose of 90s Britpop – our visit was during Adelaide Festival and Fringe – a brilliant but very full couple of days…
Probably the most famous drive in Australia, gorgeous coastal scenery, unexpected gems of small towns and a bonus unplanned wine region…
A sporty, arty, foodie city and we met up with some old friends too…
Wine, gorgeous scenery, more wine, just absolutely perfect….
Rugged and absolutely gorgeous – into the mountains of Tasmania and across to the wild West Coast – think Scotland meets the Lake District meets Snowdonia meets South Island New Zealand. Most visitors to Tasmania don’t bother making the trek West but we were so glad that we did…
Our introduction to Australia’s smallest state was the weirdest but most fascinating museum/gallery that either of us had ever visited – not what you’d expect from somewhere that is still mainly in the 1980s…
5 days was far too little time but we crammed a lot in – and even though we’d been before, on this visit we fell in love with Sydney…
Must do excursions from Sydney, yet neither of us did them when we (separately) visited Sydney in 2003. Now that wrong has been put right, and yes it was worth it!
Byron Bay because it’s supposedly unmissable and a fabulous couple of days in an unexpectedly nice place. Spoiler alert, get your hankies ready…..
