We are back down at Victor Harbor for the weekend for the first time since the Xmas break. We drive down after Suzanne finished work. Upon reaching Victor Harbor Suzanne went off to the Woolworths supermarket for some juice and yoghurt for tomorrow's breakfast and I walked the dogs along the town beach.

The town centre was jumping with holiday makers eating outside in the restaurants, drinking regional wines and enjoying the cool summer night. A cool change is expected on the weekend. The billboards coming into the town are all about lifestyle---both tourism and seachange. Not everybody is off to Bali apparently.

As I waited for Suzanne to pick me up I watched people cruising the art show and fairground. I couldn't help thinking that the Fleurieu Peninsula as a wine region is facing the consequences of the current wine glut of bargain basement wines that are in opposition to the imported New Zealand sauvignon blancs. It's boom and bust all over again in the Australian wine industry.

Whilst down here this weekend we will start planning for our holiday in Tasmania early next month. This is a more serious photograph trip than my earlier one in 2007. In 2007 I had yet to acquire a digital camera. It is more serious as I am taking my 5X4 Linhof Technika.

What we have so far is to arrive in Davenport by ferry from Melbourne, use a base in Evanston and Tumbridge in the Midlands to explore the east coast; then several days walking in, and exploring Cradle Mountain, then off to do some photography at Queenstown; then exploring the South West National Park via Strathgordon in the north and Dover/Cockle Creek in the south.
