Travel Review: Mother-Daughter Trip to Australia, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Uluru, Blue Mountains, Barossa Valley

We had a great tour in the Barossa valley that included a trip to a vineyard, a delicious lunch, and tasting port from the year we were born.  We also enjoyed tours of the Great Ocean Road, the Blue Mountains and a sunrise walk at Uluru.  Most of the restaurants were very good but a few were very expensive and just so-so and a dinner on a tramcar in Melbourne was very disappointing - there was nothing scenic to look at and the food was lousy.  We ended up really enjoying being in Australia during the winter - win Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney the temperatures were in the 50s and 60s and when we went to Uluru and Port Douglas the weather was very pleasant - in the 70s with no humidity.  Also,we were often told how many fewer tourists were visiting than in the summer.  Our hotels were good and we appreciated that we had an opportunity to do laundry along the way.
