Trevor Jones, Jacob's Creek, & Chateau Barrosa



This is the last part of our October 18 visit. I consider a trip to Barossa Valley to be composed of three parts. The flowers, dam, and finally the wine. For this part, we checked out three spots, Chateau Barrosa, Trevor Jones, and Jacob's Creek to taste and buy wine as souvenir.

The three outlets has a good selection set. It is best to be ready when visiting in order to take advantage of good offers.

Now back to Busby SEO Test.

Barossa Reservoir Dam & Whispering Wall at Barossa Valley

This is to continue my story sharing about Barossa Valley that I visited last October 18. In this post, I'll give you glimpse of the Barossa Reservoir or Dam. It was once the highest in Australia (36 meters high). It was also considered as one of the most innovative dams in the world because of its curve and radical innovation.

Another interesting aspect of the dam is that is also known as "Whispering Wall" where a voice of one person can be heard from one end to the other (140 meters).

More info about the dam can be read at Wikipedia.

P.S. I will post one more about Barossa Valley after my Busby SEO Test updates.

Flowers at Barossa Valley





Last October 18, the family got the chance to check out Barossa Valley. There's not much to see at the place as is. However, if you have a camera with you, no matter what kind, there are a lot of interesting things there that you can take a picture of. Flowers is one my favorite subject matter. There are a lot of them there and even got excited upon seeing David Austin roses (my dream garden would be filled with them).
