Who are we?

We are Dan and Becks. Just over 5 years ago we both individually arrived in Australia on a backpacking adventure. Within a few weeks we 'hooked up' in Sydney and spent our year-long working holiday visa falling in love with Australia.

When our visa expired, we returned to London where we settled for a couple of years. However, within a few months of getting back to the UK we both realised that Australia was calling us back... We looked into migration options and after a grueling two-year process we returned as permanent residents. The Great Escape tells of our migration experience and first year in South Australia.

Year two of our time in South Australia was focussed on building our new home in the beautiful wine region of Mclaren Vale. Wine has always been a joint interest and the excitement of moving to a wine region is undescribable.

We are now embarking on a new chapter in our lives together - a chapter that we have nicknamed "Living the dream". This blog will aim to capture our time spent in Mclaren Vale - the places we go, the things we love and our general musings of life as it currently stands!

Enjoy,
Dan & Becks x

PS. By no means is this blog meant to provide a review of Mclaren Vale or any kind of critique. We love everything about this place and simply want to capture the stuff we do. If we don't like something, it won't feature on the blog - it's as simple as that!

Finest breakfasts in the Fleurieu Peninsula?

Today we went for a 'hearty breakfast' (we had a busy day of domestic things planned and felt that a hearty breakfast would set us up nicely) at Christina's on the High Street in Willunga.

And hearty it was... and delicious too! We both had the full monty (Christina's Breakfast - Free range eggs, Ellis smoked bacon, pork and herb chipolatas, roast cherry tomatoes, roasted field mushrooms, sautéed spinach and house made toast) and thoroughly enjoyed it. We both agree that we haven't had such a good breakfast in a long time.


The ambiance was great to as the cafe is in a renovated historic church and it was buzzing with couples of all ages, families, tourists and more!

We will definitely return!
