Plan Your Own Barossa Trip
South Australia is known for its wine regions. So when my friends visited, I knew I had to take them on a wine tasting tour. I heard that Barossa is the best. Being a newbie to Adelaide myself, I was initially leaning towards booking with a tour group because there didn't seem to be much material on the internet about planning your own tour. But we decided to save money, go on an adventure and use technology to our benefit and planned our own Barossa trip. And now I get to share it with you!
The Whispering Wall
We arrived at our first stop at 10 AM. The Whispering Wall is said to be South Australia's first and highest arch dam. The coolest thing about the dam is that sounds from one end can be heard clearly from the other. No shouting needed, just speak like how you normally would and your friend standing all the way at the other side can hear everything that you're saying as if you were standing next to him. What wonder!
Next stop, Lyndoch Lavender Farm.
On the way to our next stop, we noticed that other cars stopped to park at this area so we did the same out of curiosity. With a pretty view to take pictures in, it was worth a really quick visit.
Now, on to the wine tasting! Although we initially had other wine tasting venues on our itinerary, we decided to ditch the others since our visit to Seppeltsfield Winery was more than enough!
Always,
Jeanne

I love this kind of adventure! And to discover a place on your own is much more fun than on a usual way! Would love to try the lavender cookies too! Interesting photos, Jeanne! How was the wine, dear? I'm a fan of sweet ones! ;)

It looks like you did an amazing job with your own Barossa Valley trip! I haven't been so I will have to take your tips into account. I'm quite amazed at the whispering wall. It seems impossible while reading about it on a computer screen so it gives me an excuse to plan another trip away! Haha
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Sounds like you had a great time! I think road trips like this can be much more fun when you do it yourself, not as rushed as when you're on a tour either! :)

Are you serious about the whispering wall? Omg now I really want to go. That is amazing. I'd probably be stuck testing it out and forget to do anything else, hehe. Such great fun you had with your friends and you look lovely darling.

The dam that enables people to be heard from one side to the other talking at a normal volume is just incredible - I'd love to try that for myself! I'm so glad you enjoyed a fun day with your friends :)
