To the Pyrenees wine district...

On Tuesday, we left the Barossa Valley and made our way into Victoria ( via The Palmer Hills, Murray Bridge and Naracoorte which is only 100kms from home!).
We stopped at Dunkeld and stayed the night at the Royal Mail Hotel...

A great view out of the window...
~
A huge breakfast readied us for the day...
~
~
Down more country roads...

This is the Pyrenees wine district...

We called in at Blue Pyrenees Estate...

This was the magnificent platter that we had for lunch.

Heading down the road to our accommodation...
