Stanthorpe

Think I might take the missus to Stanthorpe this year for our anniversary. Anyone been? Im not a wine expert, but do enjoy the odd glass. Got a great deal on a spa cottage with daily breakfast. Not sure if November is a great time wine wise, but at least it wont be cold. Probably arrange some kind of wine tasting tour, so hopefully we will be able to stock the wine rack at home when we get back. Providing we don't drink it all while we are there.

Our last venture into wine country was Mount Tambourine a few years back. Should be fun.

Gold Coast and Oktoberfest

My favourite part of the year.

Last weekend I went down to Surfers Paradise with an old mate for his birthday. Nothing but warm sun, beach and drinks. Thanks to the Le Chelsea for another enjoyable stay. Highlights were the pasta at Billy Baxters, The Sushi Train at Broadbeach, The Beer Garden nightclub and The Groove Train bar in Robina. Top weekend as always.

This weekend marks the annual Brisbane Oktoberfest at the RNA Showgrounds. Thousands of people enjoying beer, sausage, pork knuckles and the music. If you're bored pop down for a beer, we'll be there, starting just before lunch on Saturday the 13th.
