A Shananigan Christmas



Hello Everyone!
We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and happy 2014! What and incredible year it has been and we are very much looking forward to seeing what adventures lie in store for us this year!
This is Blog 1 of 5 by the way so stay tuned...

Neal’s parents Brad and Arlene returned to Melbourne following their adventures in New Zealand, Sydney, Barossa Valley, Adelaide and the Great Ocean Road. Needless to say we took it easy for their first few days and allowed them to recuperate. We got to show them the highlights and what we feel are the best parts of Melbourne. They did their own trip to Philip Island to see those adorable little blue penguins and saw the Great Ocean Road on their way back from Adelaide. We had a wonderful trip with them over the week and a half and even got to enjoy an early Christmas dinner.
Thank you Brad and Arlene for your wonderful taste in wine that you couldn't finish before you left. We think of you often! 


A trip to the Royal Botanical Gardens and the Yarra River



The Infamous Hoiser Lane off Flinders Street that has all of the impressive Melbourne Street Art.


The Mornington Peninsula where we visited Mont Alto (and had a delicious lunch), Paringa Estate, Red Hill Winery and the beach houses of Mornington Beach.


The Yarra Valley where we had incredible cheese at Yarra Valley Dairy (yum!), We visited Coombe Farm, Yerring Station and Innocent Bystander/ Giant Steps Winery. We definitely stocked up on some amazing wines on those trips!


Our early Christmas Dinner!

Blog 2 of 5 will follow shortly about our Christmas in Sydney!
