Barossa Valley wine tour today. Went to several wineries and saw much of the country outside of Adelaide. Not far to get out of the city and to wine country. Incredible tasting wines with some bad ones, too. Obviously, a personal preference. Went to the whispering wall - a dam that was inadvertently designed in such a way that a person on one end could talk in a normal voice and a person at the other end could hear them. History says that it was discovered when workers at one end were talking about their boss and he overheard them from the opposite end. We tried it and it worked. Pretty neat. We then went to a small town about a half hour out of Adelaide and enjoyed touring around.
