Very much world class scenery over there (I have been there 3 times for longish vacations my years ago).

Great set. Looks like a lovely place to visit. Love the wine glass chandelier. Did you taste any of the wines?

Hi Mary Ellen - nice to see you visiting again. Yes, it was a lovely place to visit and we definitely tasted the wines - unfortunately only a little bit at the wineries, as I needed to drive - but there was less hesitation at the restaurants to which we could walk ......

Western Australia is well-known for its high quality wines. While it has only a tiny sliver of some 3% of the total Australian wine production, it produces an astounding over 20% of Australia's premium wines, which is mainly due to its cooler climate . While Western Australia has a number of wine regions, Margaret River is the most famous.

In this post, we will visit two wineries which excel not only with their wines but are also a joy to look at - and photograph of course. I hope you will enjoy this short visual trip into the wine region. For accuracy's sake and just in case this post entices someone to visit the area, please note that Laurance Cellar has subsequent to our visit been acquired by Robert Oatley Vineyards and has been renamed.

The last photo shows an attractive flower that I cannot identify - further information from the knowledgeable UHH viewers would be much appreciated.

Please view in download for better enjoyment.

Mr. Webber :

That is quite a fancy place to dine and visit and the grounds are so well kept. You and your family have really got the life-style down to a science by now and I envy your blessings sir. Thank you again for another extraordinary visit.
