A day in the Barossa

Reading Time: 18 minutes
Barossa Valley, SA (Oct 2024)

Taking advantage of a Qantas double status credit promotion earlier in the year, I booked flights to Adelaide and started planning a weekend visiting its nearby wine region. I’ve been to Adelaide a few times and even drove to Mount Gambier once, but had never visited the famous South Australian winery areas. Having heard good things and enjoyed a tipple or two from some of their well known vineyards, it seemed a good idea to plan an adventure to somewhere new.

Magny-Cours, France (June 2024)

I was so excited! A few of us from the Lambretta Club of Australia had managed to snag tickets to the Euro Lambretta event at Magny-Cours, France, from 13th-16th June 2024. These tickets are like gold dust for European clubs and having not participated at a Euro since 1993, because adulting and work commitments got in the way, I felt honoured and privileged to have the opportunity to be one of those lucky members to be going and was thrilled to be hopping on a plane all the way from Australia for some scooter shenanigans in France.
