Put Julie and me down. It's a ripper little pub and a good ride with a mix of curves through the hills, a ferry crossing and roads in reasonable condition if you take the Stott highway.

I'm hoping to be in for this.  I stopped in town on the way to the Wakerie RTE and wondered if the pub was in business.

Err Mark, today's Tuesday.  Hope you haven't gone out too early on the red.

Michael I have a little over 3 weeks to get in form - it's all blind tasting (particularly at the end of a long day of tasting :eek). It's not easy, but someone has to do it.

Do you remember Len Evans doing a blind tasting on the TV one night, probaly back in the 70's?  May have just been on VIC, not SA.

I am so looking forward to this, after 2 weeks of rubbish riding weather and my Robe soiree has been cancelled due to plumbing issues at the shack (& given the premise of the ride was red wine and curry appreciation, an environmental disaster may have been averted) an outing to Wunkar is a lifesaver.

It's looking very much like it will be an all male affair - Julie is tentative at best.
