Barossa Valley



While we're in Gawler we have to visit the nearby Barossa Valley.  What a great day!!  First stop was the German Bakery at Lyndoch for coffee and cake for morning tea.



Then we moved on to the Yallara Winery with its castle-like buildings for a wine tasting.  The scenery is very picturesque and the green vineyards are a contrast to the yellow crops being harvested in South Australia at this time of year.






We drove around the back roads of the Barossa passed the property owned by Craig's family and now run by his cousin.  We stopped off at the Barossa Pioneer Lookout and saw the sculpture garden and memorial to the pioneers of the area.



















Lunch was at the Tanunda pub - excellent food enjoyed by us all.








Finally we stopped off at the Liebich Winery, owned by Craig's cousin, for another wine tasting before making our way back to Gawler.
