Day 1

A BIG day starting in Australia's oldest wine production area. From historic, family owned wineries to tasting rooms filled with wine barrels. From delicious white wine to fiery chilli schnappes. From award winning cheese to a sausage sizzle BBQ. From valleys to beaches, hostels to nightclubs, chilling to dancing. In essence, an awesome day!   

Hard to get out of bed this morning! Fire up with a big brekky then jump on a luxury catamaran and sail out to sea looking for whales! In the afternoon it's the awesome Anna Bay sand dunes for 4WD action, sand sliding, camel riding, swimming and more. Back in Sydney share photos and laughs at The Gaff over a drink and free meal. What a weekend!
