I found this wonderful sign at the “Shut the Gate” Cellar Door in Berridale, NSW on a recent girls’ weekend.
“Shut the Gate” Wines is a boutique Australian winery crafting small-batch, single-site wines that highlight regional character and quality. This relaxed cellar doors is situated at the gateway to the Snowy Mountains, as a nod to its Tumbarumba vineyard. We had a delightful time tasting wines and enjoying the eclectic, authentic vibe!

I found this assorted collection of artefacts in a corner at the Mayday Hills Escape Rooms in Beechworth, Victoria.
Aside from the historic curiosities contained within the cabinet, I was struck by how ‘full’ this narrow space seemed; the potplant overwhelming the glass case, the heater jammed in next to it, the different leveled windows distracting the eye and skewing perspective. Even the reflected shaft of light on the floor seems to command its own attention.
(So here’s a little limerick to kick off this A-Z Challenge 😆… )
There once was a wacky glass case,
whose job was to fill up the space.
So Little Jack Horner
couldn't sit in this corner
but the light gives his shadow a chase!
