For those that didn't get to go on the Hunter Valley Wine Weekend, I now present to you the ugliest things in the Hunter Valley (besides me... I already anticipate someone playing that card so consider yourself screwed if it was you):

One Broke Road

Tempest Two (I called it "Tetanus Two")

These are apparently wineries.
But you'd never know it from the way they look.

They probably deserve to be in Jurassic Park with a bunch of broken windows and loose Velociraptor running around freely getting drunk off whatever alcohol they're convinced they're producing at them.

Ugly indeed. Especially the first one. It looks only half finished. What's it made out of? Concrete with Pebble Mix on the outside?

The second one looks like a lawn bowls centre along the Murray River somewhere.

Looks like a US DOD Star Wars base <salutes>.

Every time I go past Tempus Two that's my exact thought - I expect to see old men in creams. Apparently all the green in front is an amphitheatre for concerts of which they have a had one or two. BTW Their wines are VERY expensive and the price is no indicator of the quality.

You haven't done either of these buildings justice. They don't look bad enough here.

A symphony in grey concrete! Prince Charles would LOVE these!
