Expedition in search of the source of the Blue Nile. No, not really. This expedition to the Barossa Valley was in search of the source of the Red Wine. We spent a bit of time wine-tasting at the very impressive Wolf Blass visitor centre. The photo is of us in front of Wolf Blass’ monument to himself. They had a number of private tasting rooms for the high rollers, but we were not invited in. I looked for the Joe W tasting room, but did not find it. It is probably even more exclusive.
The roadsign: after 21000 km, now they tell me!
Christmas in Adelaide – some of the Christmas decorations in downtown Adelaide. Early November. Does not look terribly Christmassy to us.
Blue Lake, at Mount Gambier SA. Just before we crossed the border into Victoria State. The change was gradual enough, but the difference between the draught-ridden South Australian flatland and the bright green of the primarily agricultural (sheep and cows) hills of Victoria is remarkable.
The Twelve Apostles, along the Great Ocean Road, West of Melbourne. Lots of post-card quality scenery along the coast. Not unlike driving the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton

Belated Happy Birthday. Love the blog. Looks like you are having a wonderful time.
James and I also did a trip. It lasted 4 days and we drove many miles till we reached our destination of Minot ND where we spent too much money. On the way home we battled a very strong wind and dodged many tumbleweeds which were half the size of the truck. The whitecaps on the dugouts were not near as beautiful as the waves on the ocean that you are seeing. At the border they now have our names in the paperwork for drug smuggling as they confiscated my Aleve.
When we came home I got a pearl which now sits in my kitchen for everyone to see. It's a beautiful new fridge. :) :)
Hope this gives you a little chuckle from a Saskatchewan cousin.
Keep the blogs coming and continue enjoying your trip.
