Barossa

The Barossa Valley is one of Australia’s most well known wine growing regions, and is situated just a short drive north from Adelaide. Many of the areas original German names were anglicised just before WW1, although the region still maintains a German feel to it. On the way to the Barossa Valley it is also worth stopping at Springton on the way, where you can see the hollow gum tree where a pioneer family lived for 5 years. There is also the amazing Whispering Wall at the Barossa Reservoir, where the acoustics are so good that a conversation at one end can be heard perfectly clearly at the other.
