I visited Victoria last week to see my son, sister and brother. My sister owns Curly Flat, a vineyard/winery in Lancefield, in the Mt Macedon area. The vineyard is looking especially beautiful now with the vines springing to life, and the tiny grapes beginning to form.
new life in the vineyard
As well as producing some very good pinot noir and chardonnay, the vineyard is absolutely beautiful. Here are some pictures I took on my wanderings around the property.

Chewbacca at rest
Chewbacca is an enormous cat. My son is almost 2 metres tall, so you can see what I mean. Chewy displays a marvellous economy of movement, unless there is food being offered by visitors in Vintage Hall, when he becomes quite animated and very friendly. He is seen here basking in the glory of his recent mention in the Weekend Australian magazine.
