Clare to Barossa

After a fairly sleep-deprived night we woke to a rainy morning so we decided to head into Clare and cross a few things off our to-do list; Chiro visit (which made for a remarkably happier and nicer Mum!), fuel filter for the Prado, new sleeping bags and a few other things for the caravan. We had planned to hire bikes and cycle through some wineries for the morning but the weather wasn't suitable for this!

Instead we found a bakery and had some lunch (and Axel had his first choc milk!) and headed out to a nearby winery. Until we got distracted by a really cool nature park and stopped there instead - how our priorities have changed!  We spent some time there followed by a quick wine tasting in Sevenhills, at a winery run by Jesuits.

Ooooohhhh! Chocolate milk!

We refrained from further wineries and headed back to the caravan, packed it up and drove through to Barossa. Here we stayed at the local cricket grounds, a beautiful spot! We slept well and woke on time as we had planned to head to the Farmers Markets for breakfast.

The markets were fantastic! Although very hectic with our tribe, we had our breakfast there and shared a table with a man from the Baptist Church in Adelaide.

We stocked up on cured meats and sausages and lots of fruit and vegies and a special parcel of Strawberry Ciders! Yummo! Wish we had these beautiful markets at home!

After the markets we went back to pack in our purchases and then pack up the van.  As we left we drove through the main street and saw HEAPS of old cars lined up - ready for the show that night.

We made a quick stop at the Barossa Whispering Wall - Chad and Brenton went to the other side of the dam and were convinced there must've been a speaker somewhere!

As we made our way out of the Barossa the view out the window was just vineyard after vineyard after vineyard!
