Angaston, South Australia, Australia
Whilst Sacha went to work we borrowed his car to do some sightseeing. Our first stop was just across the street the old union chapel in angaston. Built in the 1840's as an interdenominational church by George Angas as a firm believer of religious freedom ,evidenced by his courting of the german lutherans who flocked here. It is the oldest church in the area and second in SA still conducting weddings and funerals. There was a display of old brass band instruments and ephemera from the middle of the 1850's up until the 1960's. How similar the rural working class pastimes were to those in Wales at the time. The next port of call was the Lambert estate,still in angaston, started by an american. We had a wine tasting and unusually for quite a large producer all the grapes for their wines come from the estate. The main reason we visited is that they had an exhibition of modern art from the Barossa art gallery,including work from Rod Schubert whose art was also to be found at the Peter Lehman winery which we visited later but declined to taste their wines. This was due to us having had a tasting and luncheon at Saltram's another winery in Angaston and more or less opposite Sacha's house. For afternoon tea we went to another old Lutheran church which of course had its own collection of old brass band and agricultural stuff. It was worth it for the home made biscuits! There was time for a stroll round Tanunda to buy Sacha some draught excluders ready for winter before we had to go and pick him up from work. In the evening we went to one of the local pubs and whilst watching the Aussie rules football enjoyed their other perennial favourite schnitzels.
