Beer then wine every things fine....

Today we went on a wine and beer tour of the South West. Its a pretty small producer in comparison with the East coast or France but still plenty of wineries to check out and sample their wines.  Our tour guide was really good and the group was a good mix of nationalities. We met a a really nice British couple who lived in Perth, his parents had sailed to Australia from Cornwall on their yacht to visit. Not a bad life if you can afford to do that!

The tour consisted of 5 vineyards, a lunch, a chocolate factory and a cheese factory. The final stop was a brewery just to add to the mix. By the time we got to lunch we were glad of the sit down as we had seen 3 wineries already and polished off more than our fair share of wine, port and liquors. A favourite for the whole tour was a strawberry liquor mixed with ginger ale, not very Aussie but still nice. Lunch was a series of Australian bush fair, Crocodile and Kangaroo meat, and random things like bush tomatoes and bush limes. The Roo was excellent, much better than the previous times Lloyd had tried it and yes I even tried some. Lloyd thought Crocodile was like pork and wasn't really a fan. Surprisingly I preferred the Croc to the Roo.

We leave for Margaret River tomorrow, this is the foodie capital of the South West and is also the starting point for some giant tree and some cave tours.

Good Legs?


Not A bad end
