trip to the winery

March 10th 2009 - Trip to De Bortouli Winery

It was a very eye-opening trip, getting close up to wine making and vineyards around it. Tasting over 20 types of wine produced by the vineyard. It was amazing.. what an experience!! Worth the AUD$25. hahaha.

What to Do in an EarthquakeDuring an earthquake??

• If you are indoors - stay there (clear of falling debris outside). Keep clear of windows, chimneys and overhead fittings. Shelter under and hold onto a door frame, strong table or bench.
• In high rise buildings, stay clear of windows and outer walls. Shelter under a desk near a pillar or internal wall.
• DO NOT use elevators.
• In crowded areas or stores, do not rush for doors, but move clear of overhead fittings and shelves.
• If outside, keep well clear of buildings, overhead structures, walls, bridges, powerlines, trees etc.
• In a city street, shelter from falling debris under strong archways or doorways of buildings. Don't go under awnings as they may collapse.
• In a vehicle, stop in an open area until shaking stops.
• Beware of downed powerlines and road damage, including overpasses and bridges. Listen to your car radio for warnings before moving.
