He samples a three litre Leo Buring Coonawarra Shiraz Cabernet, finding it pleasant with good colour and finish though lighter than expected, and observes the cask did not survive the evening. Prices listed: Coonawarra Shiraz Cabernet and Karadoc Cabernet at $5.90 each, Padthaway Red Hermitage $5.45.

Rothbury Estate Glamour and Costs Pose Investor Risk
The Rothbury Estate in the Hunter Valley added glamour and prestige to the region but faced massive financial losses for original shareholders. Misjudged cash flow, overcapitalization from a large winery, and a failed direct marketing approach crippled returns. Despite woes, Rothbury and its wines are expected to linger in the Hunter’s wine scene.

Clunies-Ross asserts Cocos self government plea rejected
John Clunies-Ross, owner of the Cocos Islands, accuses Australian defence authorities of planning to depopulate the island, deny self rule, and use propaganda to portray the islanders as a colonial problem. He appeals for international support to preserve the community in its ancestral lands. He says self determination is an international right and condemns moves to turn the islands into a military base. The Australian minister rejects commenting on the claim.
