A chance to get together with Delle and Rod before the holidays. We met for lunch at the old Gledswood Homestead, an early 19th century farm estate, built by James Chisholm in 1830. It has an outstanding colonial garden that was expanded in 1870. Gledswood has historical significance for its association with the early development of Australia's wine industry. Set on 113 acres, this grand convict built sandstone homestead is surrounded by sweeping lawns and elegant gardens.
