On 27 December we set off for Penola in Coonwarra (wine region in South Australia, for those of you who don't know it). There we met up with my Uncle Graham & Auntie Rosemary. We had a lovely few days exploring the vineyards of the area, drinking a drop or three of Coonwarra's finest Cabernets, having some wonderful food and indulging in more Haighs Chocolates (I stocked up when we were in Adelaide). Penola is a lovely little town with some cute shops, great restaurants and quite a few places to get a decent cup of coffee. What more could you want. And it's where Mary MacKillop set up her first school. Mary MacKillop founded the Sisters of St Joseph, a Catholic order of nuns, which my Auntie Marie (who is my Great Aunt) is a member of. There is a lovely little museum which tells you all about the life and times of Mary MacKillop.
