Walcha

Our introduction to Walcha came at the house of Barry and Mona who welcomed the team by touring us through his wine cellar.

“Champagne or still white?” he asked, a bottle in each hand.

“I like both.  Do I have to choose?”

Walcha is off the beaten track so you really have to work if you want to get here.  And if you’re here for 40 years, the locals will finally forgive you.

It’s a charming small town of only 1700 or so, but you can double that number if you add in the adjacent farms.  Despite its small size, Walcha has the most active Rotary Club per capita in all of Australia!!  Now that’s something to brag about.  And in addition to Rotary, Walcha has an equally active Lions Club.

Clearly, these are people worth getting to know.
