On the road again. Farewell KI. It's been marvellous. After refuelling, we headed into McLaren Vale. I've been to lots of Australian wine regions but this seems to be very intensely under vines. It's beautiful countryside. More attractive than The Hunter or even Mudgee. We were not doing any wine tasting. We were just going to visit the d'Arenberg Cube. 

Well is this the future? Wine tasting with an experience? A veritable wonderland (Alice would be very happy) of an amazing array of artworks, collectibles, anything and everything really. Lunch, a light affair today. You can see we enjoyed it though from the empty plates 😋. Only a short drive then to our accommodation for the next three nights.

Acres of vines as far as the eye can see

Is this the future of wine appreciation - an experience!

Artworks on the ground level


Cafe on Level 3





The collection is huge!



Now on Level 4 - the tasting room

All very Alice in Wonderland

  Day 3: Our first day on the River. We left Renmark behind, passed through the Paringa Bridge on schedule and headed down river. This lift bridge only opens twice a day at 9:30am and 2:30pm so very important we made our way down river promptly this morning The current played havoc in the now swollen river from the heavy rains months ago up in the upper reaches of the Darling River. Here's a map of the huge catchment of the Murray, Murrumbidgee, Darling Rivers. The basin covers 14% of Australia's land mass. Renmark is close to the border with NSW. We travelled abut one-fifth of the length of the Murray River. As you can see the Darling River flows a long way from the north until it reaches the Murray River at Wentworth. The Murrumbidgee and the Murray itself, from it's source, would also have above average flows from winter snow melt and summer rains. At one stage the captain could not hold the boat in the narrow marked channel (so marked because of sand banks) and the cur...

Our coach was ready for our morning ashore after breakfast. Taking a route through the town, then following the line of the escarpment to a spot overlooking the river. Here are the now disused, beautifully decorated silos. Part of the Silo Trail.  Near the cliff top cafe. Silos clearly seen in the distance Further along we stopped at an unusual spot. Two quaint shopping opportunities and a cafe with an outside terrace overlooking the river, capping off the morning. Our floating hotel Pelicans are a constant on the river A cormorant trying to stay cool Lots of parakeets at our mooring in Morgan This former river transport boat is being restored So much of the river has a history dating back to when the river was the most efficient means of transporting goods. Then came the railway and river transport died. We reboarded Proud Mary and continued on down the river to Morgan. It's such a relaxing trip having half a day exploring ashore and half a day cruising to our next stop. We did ha...

South Coast. Today was the day we were going to spend time on the beach. Today it turned out to be a case of the best laid plans etc......  Our morning started at Seal Bay. Lots of lovely activity males, females and pups. Best place to view seals in their natural environment. Looking down to Seal Bay Lots of seals along the beach Seals spend the majority of their time ashore recovering from days at sea The big bull in the earlier photo, finally went for a swim Next stop Raptor Domain. The threatened rain started but did not interrupt the amazing show. I was so excited to be able to glove a wedge tail eagle. This is a rehabilitation facility with the birds in the show being unable to be released due to the extent of injuries.  A well camouflaged Tawny Frogmouth Bush-stone Curlew A beautiful Barn Owl He hopped on to my lap then flew off before we could get a picture Just managed to seek this one The white flash in the centre of the photo is a hawk flying past at speed Again, the...
