Australias Accurate

Having just returned from a month in Australia, I found “Bus Travel Is Best Way in Australia” and “Sipping Great Grapes in Australia,” both Sept. 29, to be extremely accurate. Not only do the Australian buses travel 50% faster than trains, but they also play a variety of recently released videos between the major cities.

Visiting the Barossa Valley from Adelaide not only includes the usual wine tasting and touring, but a visit to the world’s largest rocking horse, Torrens Gorge, the Whispering Wall and Menglers Hill Lookout. A fabulous lunch is included and the cost is only $32 for the entire day. The only detail to keep in mind as you taste one excellent wine after another is that Americans are only allowed to bring one liter of alcohol home.
