Barossa wins prime spot on Aussie Monopoly board.

The Barossa Valley has been voted as the most prestigious property on the new here and now Australia version of Monopoly. South Australia polled nearly half of the national vote that saw the Barossa Valley beat Adelaide for the prestigious spot traditionally occupied by Park Lane. South Australia and Western Australia have taken the highest value side of the board, while the Australian Capital Territory and Queensland fill the cheap side of the board. Sydney did not make it onto the board, New South Wales are being represented by Broken Hill, Tamworth and the Snowy Mountains on the orange spots. The game also includes some Aussie Icons for tokens including an Aussie Ute, thongs and a surf board. More details are available at http://monopoly.com.au/results.php . The game will be available in most stores from the 10th of this month.
