Hunter Valley NSW
Only a two hour drive from Sydney gets you to the Hunter river valley which winds back up into the Great Divide where lush lowlands give way to gorges, dense forests and rugged mountains.

Begin at Newcastle, explore the byways of the historic port, wine and dine, or surf at the beaches; head up the valley through elegant Maitland and Singleton into Hunter Valley wine country and do the cellar door rounds, sample the local 'Cab Sav' or Shiraz and taste the gourmet foods.

Visit the horse studs or play golf, try a farm stay or camp out, tramp the spectacular Barrington Tops National Park, go bushwalking or take a 4wd tour.
