Perth - Swan Valley

The Swan Valley is Perth's answer to the Hunter or the Barossa - that is; booze and chocolate...

This is a grape-vine. From this, they make a drink - called wine - that tastes like grapes.

Km, hanging around outside a vinyard shop. That bloke in the background is the owner and he told me how they make port. Right, you get some red wine that isn't going to make it as wine for some reason, and you put it in a barrel followed by some brandy. Then you leave it for a few years, That's it. Port.

Like this. I bought one of these 'cos they let me try it and it's yummy.

These are the grapes that make wine taste all grapey.

These are barrels. You put booze in them. More importantly, you take booze out of them.

And old tractor. Country people REALLY, REALLY like these.

A nice bit of scenery.

Cow.

Horse (2).

Dog (1).

Me outside the odest church in WA. I kept a little way away from it in case SOMETHING HAPPENED.

Very protestant inside; i.e. plain and simple.

There was a time it wasn't a good idea to mess with the natives. Probably still isn't.

There'll be none of that 'wandering amongst the living' in this graveyard.

A nice shot over the valley.

Mmmm, beer.

This was part of the haul. The chocolate was gone before I could get a focus-lock on the camera.
