Hunter Valley


After spending the night at Lane Cove National Park, which is a really nice campground about 15 minutes from downtown Sydney. We spent a relaxing morning at the pool and playground.

We drove north and made a stop at Brisbane Waters National Park. Actually, we made 2 stops. First, we stopped and saw some Aboriginal rock carvings.



Then we stopped for lunch and a short walk at a waterfall.











We continued North to Hunter Valley and stopped at a brewery (that had a playground) for a local brew and ginger beer for the kids.

The only caravan park in the Hunter Valley area was the typical privately run caravan park with sites right on top of each other.

The next day we went on a wine tour. It was great! The tour van picked us up at the campground at 9 a.m. We spent the next 8 hours tasting wine, olives, cheese, schnapps, and chocolate. Gabbi and Jacqui were treated very well at all of the stops and were usually given their own glass of aqua vin.















By the end of the day we were cooked and glad to be back at the camper...
