Weekend at Stanthorpe Wineries and Vineyards

This is a little overdued.
So I spent the weekend in Stanthorpe, southwest of Brissy around the regionous mountains and hills of Queensland.
So along our 3 hours drive down the country, one of our pit stops was a morning hike up a hill for some tourists' favourite activity: photo-taking sessions.
The view was absolutely breathtaking at 7:00 in the morning.

Right after it was straight down to the wine tourism college for some wine appreciation lessons.
Let's skip all the dull and technical wine preaching and head down to camp!
It's a little cottage set in the wilderness, literally. The bus had to drive off the road and into the woods to get to this place.
Believe it or not, this is Na's first attempt in sleeping in a bedroom set like this.

If you think the earlier photo was pretty, you haven't seen anything yet.
Na isn't one who bothers to capture a picture perfect all day long. All these scenery photos were taken casually.
The thing about Australia is that this country seems to have a good relationship with cameras. Anything that the camera captures looks almost perfect, good enough to pose as a bogus professional photo webbies collect for their desktop backgrounds.
Na loves Queensland!!!!

Chef Na had an opportunity to learn a few tips of wine & culinary. One of the itinerary for Na's wine immersion program was to cook wine infused lunch for ourselves *yawnssss*
Na's Lamb with sweet potato and Tempranillio wine sauce.
Na also made prawn, scallop and pear salad to be paired with Chardonnay.

Pardon my horrible grammar and sentence structure. I'm watching KangXiLaiLe in the window next to this.
