A seafood and winery haven in Southern Australia

The "Seafood Frontier" of Australia known as the Eyre Peninsula is the proud home of the most luscious food and wine around. When you order abalone, you're ordering a plate of fish that was caught only hours before it hits your dish. Boston Bay tuna and Coffin Bay oysters are just some of the reasons why this region is bustling with locals and tourists who have been told about this treasured secret. When you're on a locum tenens assignment Down Under, visit South Australia and treat yourself to a selection of seafood and wine.

The region's potential as a wine-growing mecca was recognized as early as the 1800s by French explorer Nicolas Baudin. He named a portion of the peninsula Port du Champagny when he recognized the pristine conditions of the climate and its suitability as a vineyard haven.

At Boston Bay Wines, you can simultaneously sip on shiraz, stand in a rolling vineyard and look out to the sparkling ocean, watching dolphins play and whales swim past the shore. Whether you choose to take a tour or sample a few of their prized libations, the 16-acre winery is a gorgeous place to visit while completing medical jobs in Australia.
