Saying 'G’Day' to some fine Australian wines

Some weeks ago, our Southern California Wine Council greeted 2022 with a tasting of five wines from the Land Down Under which are exported to the United States. Four of these wines are produced by Eight at the Gate in the Wrattonbully wine country located along the country's southeastern coast, about 280 miles from Melbourne and stretching throughout the hill country of the Stewarts and Naracoorte mountain ranges. This area has a temperate climate, long growing season, and…

In terms of epic journeys, you’re not going to get much bigger than road tripping around the land Down Under.

Hot Air Balloon Cairns September 10, 2010 at 2:33am

Heard about the two couples, both lived in New York City, both lived on Third Avenue, actually they lived on the same block and both wives had office jobs working for NYC. They met for the first time, this week, floating in a koala hot air balloon over the outback, west of Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef. www.hotair.com.au/cairns - What a small world it is.

I agree, Beverley! I've never had a bad meal here...
I also recommend the Mornington Peninsula, just an hour south. Here's a recent post about a weekend we spent there http://su.pr/1SqUSw

And John's explanation of Australian Rules Football on Traveldudes.org for anyone travelling here - a must see!

The Windsor Hotel for a traditional afternoon tea in style, the Press Club for dinner -and Cummulous in Flinders Lane is cool. But Melbourne has no hit and miss joints - coffee is good all over and the food too. Melbourne deserves a week's holiday for drinking and eating only. Don't forget the 'lanes' for little, cool bars and tapas on tap!

Jenolan Caves are about a three hour drive from Sydney and in spectacular country. Scrubby bush, wild escarpments and nearby Kanangra Walls, the most spectacular sandstone cliffs you can imagine. Also for bushwalkers (hikers) there's the 'six foot track' there where you can walk the rugged track for several days - if you're fit and brave enough. C'mon down, you're all welcome - if you are well behaved!

Hey, thanks, Chad. Want to go there now.

Jenolan Caves are great, there are a few, the Cathedral is great, especially if they have their local didgeridoo player putting on a performance. The acoustics of the cave make for amazing sound.
