G'day friends, this week we visit the Barossa Valley in South Australia, known around the world for the amazing wines that are produced here. And what are we doing? Drinking Beer? To be fair, we did visit a few wineries as well.
We were lucky to stay with an old friend and his family, who showed us around the region, which we really enjoyed - and no, not just because of the beer (and wine). There are some amazing Chateaux here and the landscape with all the vineyards is just beautiful
We hope you enjoy this episode!

Nigel's beer talk needs a podcast of its own 🙌

Bahahahaha yes I think you’re right. Probably just as well I stopped filming then!

In the absence of a "Nigel dive", watching his tipsy explanation of the beers more than made up for it 🤣 Scruffy is just adorable - that squishy little face!! I wouldn't get a van dog though... You guys do so many national parks and hikes. Too tricky in Australia. If our dog is still around when we head off in a couple of years, he'll be staying home with the young adult kids... However, I have a plan to put a little sign out offering dog sitting if we are at a place for a few days while hubby is working. That way we can get our doggy fix and someone else can get to places they otherwise might not 🙂

That’s a great idea about the sign!! And yeah we will wait a while before getting a dog 🐶

Very interesting. Certainly some beautiful places. Now Sue, you can either handle your alcohol better than Nigel or you didn’t drink as much as it looked like you were drinking. 🤣 Scruffy looks like a lovely dog. If you do decide to get one, see if you can find a rescue who needs a home. Pets are a huge commitment and it’s a bit of ‘luck of the draw’. A lot of dogs these days suffer from some measure of anxiety and don’t like to be left alone. So while there’s up-sides there are definitely down sides too. 🤣😕

Thank you Lynne. I was definitely trying to pace myself! We would definitely consider a rescue dog, either way I think it will be a long time before we make that commitment again. It’s so hard to say goodbye. I still miss my last dog who died in 2017.

@@nigelandsueadventures I definitely understand that. I did recently adopt a 14 yr old scruffy haired foxy who was put in the pound. She’s adapting to MotorHome life fairly well so far. In 2021 I ended up losing both of my elderly dogs. My 18 yr old in April and my 15 1/2 year old just after Christmas. It’s never easy to say goodbye. They are a big commitment that’s for sure. I certainly don’t take it lightly. 🤗💖

Oh how gorgeous. Yes it’s very hard losing a dog, they are totally like family members.

😂 Love this! There is always that one bad influence in a group 😂😂 You guys will have to go to the Stanthorpe Apple and Grape festival to do some grape stomping 🍇

Is it always windy there? We went back up a couple of weeks later in our way to Coober Pedy and it was even windier!

I don't remember it always being windy, but when it was .. it was windy!! I know the people who built the "Loch Ness" monster 😂 it was done for a laugh but never got taken down 🤔🥰

That’s so funny! We wondered about how it got there. Such a cool spot.
