If you have something to whine about this month, then just ask yourself if you want some cheese with your wine. On South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula October is a month long Fiesta! of all things winy and cheesy – and we mean that literally, just check out their Cheesefest if you don’t believe us. Meanwhile, in Victoria on October 21 the Main Street Mornington Festival (www.mainstreetfestival.com.au) showcases the best of the Mornington Peninsula’s food and drink and entertainment. If wine is too high brow for your sulking, then put on some leiderhosen, dance to some polka band tunes and drown your sorrows in a stein of beer at Oktoberfest Brisbane (www.oktoberfestbrisbane.com) from October 5-14.
