Griffith I rename the land of glass! Unfortunately some Australian's seem to like to smash glass bottles in places where it really would be quite beautiful. Griffith itself was a great little town and we went there primarily to buy a new fridge. It is the most amazing area. The vineyards are the largest I have ever seen, see the last couple of pics and you will get some idea. And the cellar doors we visited were fantastic. The prices were so good you just had to buy a bottle or two ...three.....four!
I have to say they are missing a bit of a trick with the tourists and I think they could make much more of the area, with all the produce they grow. We did buy some pissed prunes (prunes in port) which I have been enjoying on my breakfast cereal. However, after a couple of mornings I did decide that alcohol for breakfast should perhaps be reserved for the weekends only!
Above is a picture Phil and the boys in a chapel created by an Italian hermit who became a bit of a celebrity.
He made use of the natural rock shelters to live. He also had an immaculate garden some pictures of which can be seen on the walk around the area.
Vineyards that went on and on and on.
Orange trees that also went on and on, that is a lot of marmalade!
