Clare (Day 29)

What a lovely place Clare is!  Well, what's not to like, with all the wineries around?!  However, like Margaret River, we are fairly restricted in the amount of wineries we could visit and the amount of time spent at each one because of the kids.  We chose one - McGuigan winery - because it had a cafe and a large grass area that the kids could run around on.

We enjoyed lunch here (super yummy) and a glass of wine.  Very relaxed and welcomed after being in the car for a while over the past few days.

Tonight, we spent the night at friends of ours, Scott and Fleur Harlock.  Scott and Fleur have recently left their dairy farm near Warrnambool for a grazing enterprise near Naracoorte in SA.  The house they live in (Shepherd's Way) is huge and the kids couldn't help but tear around all the space that was suddenly around them (sorry Fleur!).  It was great to have a catch up and I definitely think that a scrappy retreat is in order later in the year!
