On Wednesday before we left Port Elliot Mike discovers a plumbing problem; in very
clean language Ooh Darn! Three plumbing/irrigation shops later and Mike has saved the day; we have
water again. Good on you Mike!
We chose to drive along the coastal route into Adelaide; very pretty!
We stopped for Morning Tea at Cape Jervis
Cape Jervis is the take off point for the Ferry that transports people and their
cars and caravans to Kangaroo Island. It was very breezy as you can see
the kids are looking a bit cold [hurry up and take the picture Dad, so we
can get back into the car].
The Ferry coming into Cape Jervis.
It was huge!!!
On Thursday much to the kids delight [not really]; Mike and I chose to visit
The Barossa Valley and check out the wineries. Our first stop was at The Jacob's Creek
Visitor Centre; very geared up for tourists and suprisingly kid friendly.
There was a nature trail to explore and an animal enclosure with Kangaroo's and Emu's.
Surprise surprise the winery is built along Jacob's creek.
Actually the area of land that The Jacob's Creek Winery occupies is vast
in The Barossa Valley.
We also drove past Wolf Blass, Penfolds and Mount Pleasant Wineries.
Jarrod Man: wow lots of vines in South Oz.
A very small section of the Jacob's Creek Winery.
This was fantastic; two tractors made entirely out of hay bales.
Very kid friendly.
So what do these grapes actually taste like?

The Lads!
Mike feeling a bit romantic!
Mike and Jarrod were blown away by this tree; it's age is 450 to 550 years old.
This tree was a home to a married couple for about 5 years; mmmm big
housing problem obviously.
