    Yes it is Victoria, but actually just North of Kyneton, at Burke and Wills Winery -- there's a little (single stage) folk festival there on Labour Day weekend. The winemaker, Andrew Patisson used to run a venue called the Troubadour in Melbourne and ran venues by the same name at Port Fairy, The National Folk Festival, in Canberra, Maldon and others. Many festivals have decided that they could make more money if they sold wine themselves and thus pushed Andrew out. So now he competes, in a small way, with Port Fairy. (Often some of the same performers from Port Fairy turn up at Burke and Wills.)

    Probably more than you wanted to know, sorry.

    (Well if I was really sorry, I'd have deleted it, wouldn't I?)

    What's a little extra detail between friends? I do love Australian sunsets, I've not seen anything to compare anywhere in the world.... I can hear the Parakeets and smell the warm earth in your photo (even in North Melbourne we have swarms of Lorikeets at this time of year, eating the eucalypt blossoms).

    Cheers,

    Gorgeous photo, mate! Thanks for sharing. My wife and I have always wanted to go on holiday in Australia and I'm sure someday we will. Sooner rather than later I hope.

    Cheers,
