Info
Known locally as "The Hunter", we were actually in the Lower Hunter Valley
area, based in a typical country town called Cessnock. We booked on a day's tour
of the wineries - it would have been a shame to lose our licences so soon after
getting them! We were accompanied by a group of mature ladies, who took a shine
to 'George from Liverpool' (it's amazing where the Beatles can get you amongst
International circles of communication!) Equally, the ladies wern't all keen on
red wine, so George had a wonderful day....hic! We can't wait to go back here
one winter, lots of log cabins up in the hills, spas, golf courses - a wonderful
weekend away. We had 2 lovely days, but freezing cold nights, so be warned! (or
buy a fan heater like we did!!)
