Ray and Judi met us at our place and we headed up the freeway , turning off at Mt Barker and then out on the road past Wistow. We noted so many new houses going up in the Mt Barker area.. even since we passed through last ( which we think was in early September). We travelled down, and into Langhorne Creek, turning left at the pub and finding the Frank Potts Reserve, which is larger than we had anticipated. It is a grassy area about 300m long and 200 wide with lots of large gum trees and about 20 campsites marked with a post and number. We chose number 18, beside a large stump and concrete table, which proved useful for grazing , cooking and eating dinner later.
We put up the tent to stake our claim and left the Prado, taking just the Avery’s car to Bremerton winery ( about 1.5 km away). There we happily spent a good part of the afternoon, first tasting our way through a good variety of their 22 wine selection of excellent wines, and then grazing through a dip platter and ploughman’s platter before some dessert pizza ( Nutella and raspberries). They even have emergency nappy supplies in the toilets!
Back at the campsite we continued our grazing, followed by delicious salmon with salad.
We were all in bed by 1030 along with all of the people in caravans and vans down this end of the area. The Averys were trying out our tent and self inflating mattresses while we were in our swags.
