Things to See in Barossa Valley

Watch Norm's Coolie sheepdogs go through their paces at the Breezy Gully Farm. This show is unmissable, especially once you realise that this army of trained collies may be smarter and more alluring than their audience.

Another multiawardwinning winery, with classic Barossa Shiraz and Riesling. Mind you, the Semillon is equally fabulous. This is probably the best range of consistent and affordable wines in the Barossa. Buy a bottle of anything and enjoy it with a picnic in the winery grounds. There's a parkland walk from the cellar door along the Para River to Richmond Grove.

The 390-hectare Kaiser Stuhl Conservation Park has some excellent walks. Fantastic views exist from the top of the Barossa Ranges. Abundant native flora, such as banksias, acacias and grevilleas, and birdlife can also be enjoyed. In particular, look out for Nankeen kestrels and brown hawks. Western grey 'roos also bound through this park.
