Day 1, Friday
The Road to Hunter Valley
We have been to the Hunter Valley Wine Country countless of times before. It is only a two hour drive from our place, and a go-to place to take Sydney visitors. However, the Hunter region is not your usual place for a winter break. We should have gone to the Snowy Mountains. That’s the name of the snow region in New South Wales, Aussies are literal like that. But a snow holiday costs an arm and a leg. Day ski lift passes can cost me more that $300+ for four and that does not include ski gear and equipment and lessons and… They say that a snow holiday in New Zealand even with the airfare will cost less. So NZ for next time it is. For now, let’s go to Sydney’s wine country. (Check out what we did in our 2011 snow holiday.)
