We left Canberra on another cold and bleak day and turned the car northwards towards the little town of Gundaroo just inside the NSW border. This is where Philips brother lives on a property 20 minutes out of Gundaroo. Gundaroo is in the southern tablelands of NSW and in 2006 it had a population of 331 and ten years later in 2016 it has a population of 1146. It is a town situated in the beautiful Yass Valley and is surrounded by mountains that are snow capped in winter but a temperature that is also able to support many vineyards with some very good wines coming out of this region.
We met the family at Gundaroo and they escorted us the 10km to their 120 acre property. The road was very wet and slippery but we did not have too many dramas towing the van. It was just before lunch when we arrived so we all piled into two cars and drove to Four Winds Winery for wine and pizza. I wish I had thought to take a photo of my Potato, Onion and Gorgonzola pizza on an olive oil pizza base. It was perfection! Oh.....and the wine was pretty darn good too!!!
We had a lovely night with the fam bam talking, drinking and feasting on Pea and Ham Soup in Cobb loaves and got to know the little munchkins. I can't figure out the relationship. I think we are great aunty and uncle to them? Anyway, the time passed all too quickly and the next morning after a breakfast fit for a king we once again stepped into the car and proceeded on our journey northwards. Next stop Cowra.
