The Southern Safari is nothing short of a wine and seafood-lovers delight.<\/p>\n<p>Just some of the aquatic fare includes sashimi in the ship&#8217;s lounge, Coffin Bay oysters fresh from the farm and washed down with chilled champagne, buckets of freshly caught whiting and sweetest of all \u2013 mouth-watering blue swimmer crabs! Plus throw-in lunch at the Penny&#8217;s Hill vineyard, 2 days cruising around must-see Kangaroo Island, cage diving with great white sharks, swimming with Port Lincoln&#8217;s giant tuna, some of the most reliable fishing action on the Australian coast and, you&#8217;ve got a safari with a difference!<\/p>\n<p>Tony Parkinson will personally introduce some the TRUE NORTH&#8217;s brand new wines and, he is also keen to share some of the local area&#8217;s best kept secrets! Tony first started growing grapes in the McLaren Vale in 1988 and ultimately was driven to the production of premium estate-grown wines under the distinctive &#8216;red dot&#8217; Penny&#8217;s Hill label. This was followed by the opening of an award-winning restaurant and cellars on the historic 1855 &#8220;Ingleburne&#8221; property and, in conjunction with winemaker Ben Riggs, the development of other fine labels such as Mr Riggs and The Black Chook. In addition to his prominent role at Penny&#8217;s Hill, Tony is also co-founder of the Fleurieu Biennale &#8211; Australia&#8217;s richest landscape painting prize. He also recently established the MUD Literary Club which raises funds for the Ubud Writers &#038; Readers Festival in Bali and the Adelaide Writer&#8217;s Week. When time permits, he also races vintage cars.<\/p>\n<p>The 8 night Southern Safari departs Adelaide on January 14 and includes a flight from Ceduna back to Adelaide at the end of the cruise.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, see the complete itinerary at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northstarcruises.com.au\/documents\/SouthernSafari2012.pdf\">http:\/\/www.northstarcruises.com.au\/documents\/SouthernSafari2012.pdf<\/a> or contact your adventure partners at <a href=\"mailto:cruise@northstarcruises.com.au\">cruise@northstarcruises.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To make arrangements &#8211; contact your preferred travel representative or email your adventure partners at <a href=\"mailto:cruise@northstarcruises.com.au\">cruise@northstarcruises.com.au<\/a> or<br \/>phone (+61 8) 9192 1829. <\/p>\n<p>Email: <a href=\"mailto:cruise@northstarcruises.com.au\">cruise@northstarcruises.com.au<\/a><br \/>Web: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northstarcruises.com.au\/\">www.northstarcruises.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Star Cruises is very excited to announce that Tony Parkinson, founder of the Penny&#8217;s Hill vineyard, will be joining the TRUE NORTH&#8217;s Southern Safari cruise.
