A river of wine I saw
As I looked through the cellar door
Where’s my cup?
Where’s a straw?
Or should I lick it from the cellar floor!
Tahbilk winery in the Goulburn Valley region of Victoria is like stepping back in time.
One of Australia’s oldest wine producers.
A nice ride through the hills to get there.
Alone or in company.
I’m saying goodbye to the Melbourne winter
Cold old Melbourne winter
Windy cold icy Melbourne winter
Still cold Melbourne winter where the weak sun warms the skin but not the bones.
My home town
In many ways a beauty by the bay
She sparkles at night
And by some standards its not as cold as others suffer
You can even ride your motorbike.
But when the icy rain falls from the grey skies
Its time for this adventurer to give his goodbyes.
Welcome me the warm arms of Europa.
Chapter 3 of my European motorcycle adventure is about to begin.
The vessel
A full moon to guide us
The skipper preparing the boat
The merry revelers on board
Up the river under the Westgate bridge
Keeping watch for other vessels
Under the Bolte bridge
The city skyline full of light
Then at midnight the fireworks
Now it’s 2018!!!!!
