Took a drive to Berri, we thought we would have lunch by the river there but alas we could not find anything other than a pub on the water front. Could be an opening for a good fish and chip shop or some such takeaway. They have beautiful river views and the area around it is well mown grass with plenty of tables and seating, guess it is another bring your own type of place!
Most impressed  that they turned an old water tower into a lookout giving anyone who can climb the stairs a birds eye view of Berri. Very clever thinking. A couple of bench seats at the top would be an improvement. My little old legs were tired when I got to the top.

From there we headed out to Kingston on Murray and just out of town is Banrock Station which is becoming famous for its management of the local wetlands, but of course is also the home of the well known wine label of the same name. Found myself another 'favourite' drop! (Frizzante).

Just when I thought it was time for a nice relaxed cup of tea and piece of cake we were off again. This time we went to Waikere and looked around their pretty little river town before returning to base to make my own cup of tea!
