HipflaskAndy,

Bin 555 is one of my favourites and is made just "up the road" from here, i.e about 20 miles into the Hunter Valley. (I live in Newcastle, NSW, but was born & raised further up the valley.) There are lots of good wines coming out of the valley. It's one of the major wine regions of Oz. You should come out & visit some time.

And we have contributed our whacky, irreverent, self-mocking sense of humour, e.g. Dame Edna Everage. Then there was Peter Brock, car racing wiz now deceased, and that other bloke who followed his example and kicked the bucket the same week.

Too much to mention, really. :-)
