Boating - Boat Driver Training

ABC SOUTHCOAST NSW is owned and operated by Greg Reid, covering Wollongong - Batemans Bay - Jervis Bay - Merimbula

Greg is a professional skipper based in Jervis Bay who has a wealth of experience based on a lifetime of recreational boating as well as a 12yr commercial career which began with several thousand hours on square rigged ships such as HMAV Bounty and the Bark Endeavour Replica, yachting in the Whitsundays, lobster fishing in Western Australia, fleet support for navy and managing an 18 metre catamaran dolphin and whale watching in and around the Jervis Bay Marine Park.

Licence Courses are generally run over one day, with the practical being conducted in the morning when conditions are generally more settled, this method also enables the boat to be used as a visual learning aid. By the time its ready to head back to the classroom for the testing and tuition you have already experienced much of what is contained in the course notes. The more fun we have in the field, the more we learn!

With Jim's mediterranean heritage and several generations of winemaking behind him he immediately saw the potential of this property. Wandandian's warm days, cool evenings and afternoon sea breezes from the basin made it perfect grape growing country.

Kladis Estate Wines are made from grapes grown in the estate's vineyards. The varieties currently being grown are Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Merlot, Muscadelle, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Verdelho.

With only two vintages behind them, Kladis Estate Wines is rapidly establishing a reputation for the production of premium quality wines. The winery currently boasts several awards, one of which is the Best Red in the Shoalhaven for it's 2002 Shiraz.

The atmosphere at Kladis Estate Wines is very warm and personal, with Jim and Niki providing a friendly welcome to all visitors.
