Gundagai NSW

On the road to Gundagai… we stopped at the quaint little heritage town of Rutherglen to round out our tour of east coast wine regions. This trip, we’ve now covered the Riverina, Barossa, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Rutherglen Regions. Mmm😋🍷

Just a quick stop this time at two of the most identifiable wineries - DeBortoli Estate and Campbells Wines, the latter being a trip down memory lane for Dan and Helen who celebrated Claire’s arrival with a bottle of their ‘Liquid Gold’ over 16 years ago xx

For lunch we checked out Parker Pies in the main street of Rutherglen. Although not cheap, we all agreed they were possibly the best pies we’ve had anywhere in the country, or at least on par with Mt Barker Bakery in WA. So good, we definitely recommend if passing through 😋

Tonight we’re at Gundagai Tourist Park in an undercover drive-through ensuite site. It’s a bit of a novelty, kind of like camping in a carport, though I have to admit not very outdoorsy. In our defense we booked it when they were predicting the supercell that smashed the east coast two nights ago. It would have been perfect in a storm, but happily our run of ideal summer weather continues. “Positive vibes” to the end.

We ended the night with Dan’s Amazing Road Trip ‘Have You Been Paying Attention’ quiz where we all recounted our favourite experiences.Read more
