From Cook to
the Barossa Valley on the Indian Pacific Traveling
overnight, the Indian Pacific exits the Nullabar plains and
journeys to greener vistas. In the morning the train passes
through the Flinders Rangers, Spencers Gulf, finally arriving at
the Adelaide Plains. By mid-afternoon the train pulls into Two
Wells, where passengers disembark to visit a winery in the
Barossa Valley.
Two Wells
The
Indian Pacific stops at the Two Wells station, so named for the
two natural wells that served as a vital water source for the
indigenous people and the early settlers. Here guests exit the
train to take a coach ride through the Barossa Valley to
Seppeltsfield Winery. For those interested in the history of Two
Wells, the video at the left provides a history of the town.
Barossa Valley
The
Barossa Valley, nestled in South Australia, is a picturesque
region renowned for its rolling vineyards, world-class wineries,
and rich cultural heritage. Its landscape is a captivating blend
of golden hills, lush rows of grapevines, and clusters of
quaint, historic towns that reflect a strong German heritage
dating back to the 19th century. The valley's warm Mediterranean
climate and fertile soil make it ideal for producing robust,
full-bodied wines, particularly Shiraz, for which the area is
globally famous. Visitors are often drawn to its charming cellar
doors, where they can sample wines crafted by generations-old
family estates alongside innovative, modern producers. Beyond
wine, the Barossa offers gourmet food experiences, artisan
cheese, handcrafted goods, and a thriving local market culture,
all set against a backdrop of stunning natural beauty that
changes with the seasons.
