We visited old friends in Oxley and were surprised at now much the little town had grown since our last visit in 2009. Covid has bought an influx of Melbournites and Sydneysiders who have built new homes and settled in the town.

We had a fabulous dinner on the first night at King Valley Cafe in Oxley and although I forgot to take photos of the very delicious food I did get this one. Jim was served Rat Trap Entree … it was very funny.

Kev took us on a leisurely day out in a friends Mustang 64 and whilst it was a little cramped in the back we had a great day out visiting Chiltern and Rutherglen. At Caffeine Machine we wandered around the vintage bike display.

Brown Bros cellar door in Milawa is just 6km from Oxley. These grapes are Prosecco vines and are in fact growing on the block right next door to were we were staying in Oxley.

Their cellar door rivals those in our Margaret River region.

And I have officially tasted the very best croissant in Australia from Milawa Bread. Did we over indulge….yes of course we did!

Thanks Kevin and Cheryle … we had a great time with you.
