After 3 days in Victor Harbor we are now going north to Sellick’s beach and up along Route 31 before coming in land to the wine growing area of McClaren Vale.

Before this, we arranged to meet up again with Andy’s cousin and family who live close to Inman.

On the way we dropped into to see some glacial rocks that sit along the riverbeds of the Inman’s River.

The scenery along the Inman River is spectacular and more hilly, following the Flinders Ridge that runs along this coast.

A further 5 miles on we reached Sue & Paul’s house that sits on a hill side looking down into the valley. It’s an incredible place, in part due to the fact that 25yrs ago there was nothing there but an electric pylon. In the intervening years they have built a Roman themed villa from scratch and cultivated the land in order to live the ‘good life’.

We had a really enjoyable few hours chatting with the family, whilst making tomato soup for lunch and having a tour of the house and grounds. This will be the last time we see it, as the house is soon to be sold as Paul and Sue ‘downsize’ and move to their latest project house down in Yankalilla.

Paul & Sue kindly took us on a tour of their new place – it’ll be exciting to see how they get on with all the changes they want to make, both internally and externally over the coming months. Certainly the gardens offer great potential to get them back to producing lots of fruit and veggies.

After saying our goodbyes to Paul & Sue (we will be seeing Jayne again in Adelaide in a week) we drove up to Maslin Beach in readiness for tomorrow’s tour of the beaches and the wine growing area around McClaren Vale.
