Today was a very unusual day as Barnadi and I both had a whole day off together. After taking the car to get its first 3 month service, we spent the morning exploring some of the 'cheaper' residential parts of Preston and ended up in the Northland shopping centre. Although we are still thinking we will end up focusing our search for a house in Bundoora, we are not ruling out other suburbs like Preston if the right house comes on the market, for the right price.

We had a quick lunch back at home before taking our freshly serviced car for a drive into Victoria's wine country, the Yarra ranges. Once we got to Yarra Glen we took a short stop to check directions then continued on to the Yering Station winery. It seems to me the most cruel of situations to have so many nice wineries around, but all of them you have to drive to. As I was designated driver, Barnadi enjoyed a nice glass of wine and we both had a dessert and coffee. My dessert was a rhubarb pie with blood orange sorbet while Barnadi had a sticky date and rum pudding. The desserts were delicious but the views alone were worth the lack of wine as despite the gloomy start it had turned out to be a beautiful day.

On our way home we took a little detour to the Sugarloaf reservoir where we took a long walk across the dam before continuing on our way back home with a stop off at Bundoora to pick up some more affordable wine.
