5 year Wedding Anniversary Weekend (May day long weekend)

Saturday
This year we decided to go away on our own for our anniversary. To the South Burnett wine region.

We stayed at Yarakool camp grounds at Moffatdale. We hired a cabin for a weekend, that had all the basics.
We had a wonderful lunch at one of our favourite wineries Moffatdale and a quick wine tasting session.
We left with a few bottles and the orders our friends had put in.

Next stop - Clovely Estate for another round of wine tasting, then next door to Rodderick’s winery – not our cup of tea.

We had dinner on the balconey over looking the Dam watching the sunset.
Mikey organised a fire and we set up the blanket and the radio to listen to the football under the star’s.

Sunday
We headed out to Kingaroy, to Captain’s Paddock Winery for a tasting – good to see that Merlot the wine dog is still going strong. On the way back to the car Mickey noticed a pair of Tawny Frogmouths in a branch overhanging the car. A short drive to Cranes Wines for a another tasting.

Then to Stuart Ridge for Fudge, Cheese (the best ever) and some more boutique wine tasting (cellar door for 3 wineries).

We went to the local pub for lunch, then back a different way via the Lavender gift shop.
Back to the cabin for a siesta, then dinner in front of the fire again, with the local radio station under the stars.
