Our base for exploring the Barossa is Almond Hill B&B, in the village of Angaston. Easy to find on the outskirts of the town, we drive up the hill surrounded by flowering lavendar and rosemary, and pull in to park by a rhinoceros (iron) and the donkeys (two real ones), an alpaca and two sheep with week old lambs completes the menagarie.

I love these Australian names, heading on the Fleurieu Peninsula out from Port Willunga, through Myponga to Yankalilla essentially following the Tribuke Dreaming Trail. We dropped off at Lilla’s, a café on the main road – they were closed but offered warmly to make a coffee while they prepared for the evening rush. Read more
Our base for exploring the Barossa is the amazing Almond Hill B&B and after a fabulous breakfast we head for our first coffee hit of the day– Blond Coffee on the main street of Angaston. It was a good choice (we come back three times before we leave), a deli style café with lots of space, great food, and large glass windows to watch the passing traffic.
Adelaide Central Markets
I am in Adelaide for a couple of weeks – it’s winter but the weather is mild. We are in the city for a day. Adelaide has a fabulous Central Market open Tuesday – Saturday until 1pm. It is undercover, with great parking next door – fresh fruit and vegetables, olives, cheeses, fish, cakes and breads. It has everything you might need for a week of delicious meals – and soon that is exactly what we have. Last stop is coffee at Luigias – a must to catch your breath and watch the world go by.
