Great Places To Visit-Baroosa Valley, South Australia, Wine region.

We are currently spending a week in the beautiful Baroosa Valley in S.A. Our caravan is parked at the Nuriootpa caravan park which is handy to the area's attractions. Wineries!! I am getting spoilt as Bernie doesn't drink wine, so is being my personal chauffeur. We are both enjoying the history and lovely old buildings in the area also. One place on my hit list is Maggie Beer's Farm. Contacted some friends who live in the area and met up with them for lunch there. Had a wonderful few hours together. We each picked an entree and then shared them. Great way to get to taste a variety of dishes. Maggie's produce store has a large variety of goods available for sale and the majority are available to taste test before you buy. Made sure I took full advantage of that opportunity. Delicious!!!!! Came home with a little bag of goodies. Took a tour of Chateau Tanunda, fantastic! You get a glass of bubbly to sip while you listen to your guide. Great tour. Highly recommend it...

We are staying in our caravan at the Tumby Bay Top Tourist Park, right on the beach. It about a 1 1/2km walk from here to the shopping centre.  We take our bags and head off each morning straight to the bakery for fresh supplies. Each day we reward ourselves for the long walk (Ha!) and buy a sweet for morning tea, then walk home via the Foodland, butcher, chemist, post office, hardware store or whatever shop we need to stop at. There is a bit of sea weed about at the moment, but it's not here all the time....we just got lucky! Doesn't bother me though. Still clear areas you can swim in. It's a great way to start the day. Later on we head over to the b...
