Hahndorf to Lyndoch

Lach visited Hahndor'f leathersmith this morning to get a tailor made leather pouch for his old bowie knife - many thanks to John and Sam who went out of their way to help, even giving a brief history of the blade.
While in the store, lach overheard some tourists talking about the Big Rocking Horse nearby - so we decided to check it out over lunch.
We put in just a little more diesel at Hahndorf Mobil (26.3L @151.9c/L).
Gumeracha Toy factory was located right next to the 3 storey rocking horse, which had travel direction poles nearby (one national, one international) displaying the distances to other locations.
Inside the toy factory was a very cute 4-wheel drive and caravan, as well as the type of truck Sheree thinks Col should look into purchasing for the farm!
Alongside the toy factory was a mini-farm, with many ducks, alpaca, sheep, goats, peacocks and kangaroo keen for a feed.
After lunch we set off for the Whispering Wall north west of Williamstown - where the Barossa Reservoir (built in 1909) offered magical acoustic transmission from one side to the other - 144 metres away! Lachie had a great time stirring me whilst out of hitting range!
We arrive at McGuigan Wines in Yaldara Estate (Barrossa Valley) where we briefly met up with Alex - an old uni mate who's a minemaker on premises.
After some wine tastings and setting up the camper again - we sat down to enjoy McGuigan 2009 Moscato...mmm...yum!
Can't get any better than beautiful wine, vintage cheddar from Warrnambool and some home made salami from Griffith thanks to the Calabrias!
