Sunset in the Hunter Valley

This shot was taken from out accommodation in the Hunter Valley wine region in Pokolbin. We had a great time in the Hunter and it was our first experience of wine tasting. It's surprisingly easier than you think.

Grapes on Vine, Hunter Valley

It's Sunday here, the sun is shining and the temp is 25C (even though it is winter). I was thinking about a glass of wine an that is the thought process for how I arrived at this image. It is a red wine grape bunch hanging off the vine in The Hunter Valley, New South Wales.

Wine Barrels - Barossa Valley, South Australia

The Barossa is a famous Red Wine growing region north of Adelaide in South Australia. I found some great Shiraz here and one in particular has become a firm favourite. Wine tasting in the Barossa is on my list of must do things in Australia. Penfolds was a particular highlight.

Mrgaret River - Rural Charm...

Despite the dry climate Australia still has some beautiful green countryside. This is typified best in the main wine regions.

This shot is taken in Margeret River in Western Australia. A small Vineyard in the front with cute little farm buildings behind.
Margaret River is very popular with visitors, it has many wineries and is also famous for food (the cheese factory particularly caught my eye!).
It is a reasonable 272kms or 3 hours drive south from Perth and is also famous for an awesome surf spot called 'Surfer's Point'.
