We left Adelaide on 16/03/2020 to drive west to the Clare Valley. We have visited the Clare Valley back in 2012 with my father and Janet and decided to have a quick return visit. The main reason was to have lunch at Skillogalee cellar door as last time I was the designated driver and we had already had lunch. Our return visit did not disappoint.
Although we had visited before I had forgotten how different the Clare Valley is from other wine areas e.g. McLaren Vale. It has an ‘olde world’ charm with beautiful buildings and landscape. I think we both wished we had allocated more time there.



We are now on the Yorke Peninsula for a bit of downtime, catch-up with chores (there is always something to fix), some walking along the coastline, maybe get to start a book :-), stop thinking about the virus for 2 minutes and generally have some R&R. So may not post anything for a week or so.

Enjoy Australia’s “Mediterranean”, last glimpses of water for a few weeks. Stay clean and healthy. Travelling away from the population centers is probably a wise move.
Enjoying your pics.
Glad to see you guys are still on the road and not letting bushfires or pandemics stop you. Take care.
Thanks! Yup survived the drought and the fires but think the pandemic might defeat us…. watch this space!
