Wines and pubs in country towns

After our routine of a swim and a breakfast of fruit salad, a croissant with Jarlsberg & chutney and peppermint tea, we headed off to Mt Barker in search of more wineries. We missed the turnoffs for the first few and the first one we turned up at didn't have a cellar door. They did direct us to 2 more though, the first being open, the second was not (despite all the signs proclaiming the opposite). Finally succumbing to common sense and picking up a map with opening times, we headed off to a couple more, stopping for a really nice, simple steak sandwich before driving to Kojonup.

We arrived at a nice farmstay with sheep, kangaroos, dogs and metal cutouts of the owners. We asked for advice on places to eat that night - the recommended Caltex restaurant had lost its chef, but you could get takeaway and eat in the maze or the Commerical pub was apparently good; the other pub and the chicken shop which had changed owners 15 times in 2 years were not. So obediently, we headed off to the Commercial. It was a pretty typical pub - we had a drink, then found the restaurant, which had spotlit fake trees and tables surrounding Home & Away on a projector. So, following the basic tenet of ordering lemon chicken in a Chinese restaurant, we ordered a parma at the pub and did not pay on Amex before heading home.
