Clare Valley

Had a fun weekend in Adelaide with my friend Joy - thanks for the bed and the company Joy! And thanks to the great folks at the Gladstone Community Caravan Park for minding midi-bus for us for just $5 a night. Gladstone and the surrounding towns all have fabulous history and some great homes and buildings. Most of the original buildings are made from local stone very different to Queensland. I decided not to start photographing them because I would never stop. You will just have to come see for yourselves.

We left Adelaide a little unsure which way we were going to head back north to Gladstone (South Aust) but ended up on a beautiful little back road that took us up through the Clare Valley. A little wine tasting but not to much we
were enjoying the drive way to much. There was one winery that I had heard of that I did want to visit. Seven Hills it is owned and run by the Jesuits they have had a community making wine here since the mid 1800's.
