Day 123 - day-trip to the Hunter Valley

The forecasts for Tuesday were sunshine but record-breakingly scary temperatures : 41° for Adelaide, 40s° for Melbourne, and a comparatively mild low-30s° for Sydney.  Undeterred, we'd planned a day-trip north-west up to the Hunter Valley to continue our wineries-of-the-world tour and to swell yet further the contents of F&G's new impressive cellar.

Sure enough, a shiny blue morning dawned, and lovely it stayed while we visited some glorious scenery at four vineyard tasting rooms 





and loaded ourselves down with a fair few boxes.

Only complaint of the day : we saw several "wombat crossing" traffic signs but not a sniff of a sighting ...

PS the temperatures were worse than expected : 46° in Adelaide, 43° in Melbourne, 39° in Canberra.  Apparently hottest for 110 years.  Fingers crossed that it calms down.
