11th drove from Wallaroo and the Copper Coast Hotel. Many wide open wheat fields with little tree protection, but they seem well covered all the same.
Arrived Clare Valley, the book lady told us about how fire started - angle grinder sparks, a lawn mower hitting a rock, back burning not fully exitinguished and causing a lot of damage which had to go to court. If they miss the evacuation, there aren't many places in town, but there are several escape roads.
Went to a couple of very nice wineries. The boys loved it as they stayed in the car on devices.
Left: Sevenhills is a Jesuit winery for whatever reason.
Nice church at Seven Hills winery.
Mintaro is a state heritage area, stone buildings everywhere from like 1850 or so.
Mintaro is in great original condition.
