The start to the day in the Clare Valley Hotel included me standing on “something a bit squishy” in bare feet and realising (once I’d put my glasses on) that it was a scorpion! Pretty dead at that point and I don’t believe it was alive when I stood on it as it certainly didn’t […]

Today was a relaxed day just driving around the district and popping into wineries and places to eat. We’d come to the Clare Valley to see the Knappstein Enterprise Winery. Unfortunately, they’ve now been bought out and no longer produce Danny’s favourite wine or the beer he enjoyed, so we just wandered inside to have

Again, our day started with breakfast at the Novatel. The omelette was as large as the plate! Once we checked out our first stop for the day was at Henschke Wines. They are a world-renowned family winery, 150 years old, that produces some of the best reds in the country. “Hill Of Grace” 2012 Shiraz

Today started with a lovely breakfast at the resort. Can’t complain about the view, that’s for sure. We were picked up by our driver at 10am and set off for a VERY long day. John (our driver) was friendly and very knowledgeable. He is a local and knows the history. Tells a good story too.

At the beginning of the day, Danny wandered outside to take some photos of our early morning visitor as well as some of the flowers around our cabin. The main event for the day was to be the Cape Borda Lighthouse. The drive is from Kingscote to the end of the Island – over an

If you can’t tell by the title for today, it covered quite a variety of things – in fact the original title was: “Duck Lagoon, Clifford’s Honey Farm, Show & Tell, BBQ, Night photography & the NRL Grand Final” but that would take up most of the page so I had to shorten it. Three

After such a long day yesterday and continuous travel for the previous few days (not to mention having the flu before we left!), Danny needed a day for his body to rest. He did remarkably well to last this long! The rest of us started our day at Seal Bay where we had a guided

Today was one of those extraordinary days. The scenery was amazing. This day was definitely my favourite day of the trip for scenery. The beginning of our day saw the local bird-life visiting our cabin. We had been told that the other cabins were getting visits from beautiful little wrens etc. Our visitors? Magpies!! Clearly
