Day 5- Pemberton

All our time will be spend at Pemberton today. A rough guide would be to follow Rod to feed the animals at 9.00am and then to the Gloucester Tree which is just a 10-15 mins wall from our farm and lastly, to visit some vineyards to try our the region famous Pinot Noir and White Wines.

Animal Feeding in the Morning,

Guinea Pig are given free by Rod.

That is Rod in the Cowboy hat.

One reason that we chose to stay at Pemberton Farm was because it was just a short walk to the National Park where you can find Gloucester Tree. If you stay further away, you will need to drive there and you would then have to pay for the entrance fee to the park which cost A$11 for a car.

Though the Gloucester National Park

Welcome to Gloucester Tree (World Tallest Fire Look-out Tree)!

Yes! I intend to climb it! And yes i know its 72 meters in height!

We walk from our chalet, through the vineyard just right beside us and into the national park. There were clear yellow makers along the way to guide you to Gloucester Tree.

After that workout, it is time to look for a nice place to have lunch. Kudos to my partner for allowing me to choice the vineyard the i will like to have lunch. I did my homework and found out the Hidden River Vineyard has one of the best food around and they have won several awards to prove just that!

Before we did that, we visit some vineyards,

Guess who is crossing the road?

Yummy Wines, they serve them at major airlines too!

Especially, their 2007 Pinot Noir and their Cabernet Blend!

For lunch, it is at Hidden River Vineyard. Their 2005 Cabernet Merlot is yummy!
