Day 6 - the last hurrah!

Image
 And alas, our epic adventure comes to an end. Enjoyed the beautiful view and the magpies at the cottage before heading up to the restaurant at Wise for breakfast. What a gorgeous spot to sit and relax & enjoy our last meal together - now 3 sisters & 2 nieces! Such an amazing experience to share together. If Mum was here, she would have been right there beside us! 💖😢💖

Let the fun be gin!

 Our final stop in our epic adventure - Wise Wine! Checked in to our gorgeous cottage and caught up with the next gineration who had driven down to meet us. 💖 We received a warm welcome from everyone & met the man himself, Greg,  who is the brains behind the outback gins! We were treated to a delicious lunch and had a wine or two as we filled him in on our tour - the best, the worst and the ugly! 🤣 Then on to the gin! We got to see where it all happens and learn a bit about the process, as well as a taste or two! Highly recommend the sorbet! We all squeezed into Greg’s mini (🤣) and headed to Bunker Bay for the official gin party! We had a tasting of all the gins (including the Muntadgin that we hadn’t been able to pick up) and spent the next few hours singing & dancing. Great to be part of George’s farewell & party with the crew.  Thanks to Greg for looking after us, to Mark for driving the bus back & to Mikayla, Dennis, John & all the gang for lett...

On to Wagin & checked into the beautiful old Mitchell Hall Hotel! Such a fabulous place filled with amazing artwork, furniture & creepy butlers! Congrats to the owner Phil on the arrival of his baby girl & a big thanks for coming back from the hospital to look after us!! 💖 Off to the Palace Hotel for a lovely dinner (crumbed mushrooms were yum!) and to collect the Wagin Gin!!! Spent the night chatting, reading and sampling gin on the balcony! 💖    

The perfect song!
