Songdoc, THANK YOU! I want to tear my hair out when people say "Not interested in the GBR because I don't scuba, snorkel or swim" and dismiss a unique and diverse area out of hand.

.... and yes, I think you'd better visit our little heart shaped island State, too.

Cheers
Bokhara

SB, a newish addition to The Rocks is very well worth a visit.

Besides being able to sample a broad range of wines, there's an excellent overview of the Australian wine indusry & regions. Good food in interesting surrounds too.
