The Beautiful Barossa







We stayed 2 nights in the Belair National Park just out of Adelaide and caught the train into the city for a look around. It was a nice day but the girls prefer beaches, parks and animals to churches, fountains and busy streets, so they were not too impressed. The lunch at Chinatown was probably the highlight of their day......and the train ride. Our next stop was the Barossa Valley where we visited 2 wineries (Kleimeister and Penfolds) and the delicious Maggie Beer Farm Shop. We camped overnight at Riverton and were ready to continue north when Simon discovered that we needed to replace a radiator hose that had sprung a leak. Thankfully there was a supplier nearby in Tanunda so we had to stay another couple of days in the Barossa Valley (poor us) and wait for the part to arrive from Sydney. We camped one night at the Eden Valley showground and visited Henschke Cellars. The weather was beautiful and there were many lovely parks and playgrounds to keep Hannah and Ashleigh busy. Daisy also got a very overdue wash.
