The Oxley Flour Mill is in Milawa, on the corner of the Snow Road and Woodberrys Lane. It was built in 1861 by William Allen. Allen also operated the (first) flour mill in Wangaratta, which is of course on the Sydney-Melbourne train line, which would have been important. The Oxley Flour Mill is four storeys, and is made with all local bricks; these bricks can be seen everywhere in the houses of the local towns. This building is completely un-renovated and disused. I used to drive past it each week when I’d drive my daughter to work at the Milawa Cheese Factory. It was also the first photograph I ever sold.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
