Welcome to the Heathcote Wine Region. Many award winning wines are grown in this region, namely Shiraz.
This is the first of my series in this area. This spot is nestled on the cusp of Heathcote, near where the McIvor Highway and Northern Highway meet. From here, you can travel into Heathcote, to Bendigo, Echuca, Elmore, Rochester, Lancefield, Kilmore, Tullamarine Airport or Melbourne. A nice spot to stop and stretch your legs on a drive, while taking in the scenery which nicely mixes bush with residential. There is ample parking for cars/caravans/RV's on the side of the road closest to the cache. You are looking looking for a Sistema container painted black. It contains a FTF token, log & pencil and small swaps. HEATHCOTE WINE REGION Nestled in a tranquil bush setting at the foot of the McIvor and McHarg ranges, erstwhile gold-rush town Heathcote is renowned for its world-class shiraz, which can be enjoyed alongside wonderful regional produce. Local textures Red soil and warm summers tempered by cool, southerly winds help produce robust wines of power and weight with great texture. Shiraz is Heathcote's flagship varietal, but it also produces superb cabernet sauvignon and is having great success with new red varieties along with viognier and riesling.
