One destination in New South Wales that will blow you away with its combination of stunning
mountain views, lush valleys and serene rivers is the entire Hunter region, comprising of the
Barrington Tops which tower over the Hunter Valley. The Barrington Tops consists of a high
plateau and its foothills, a beautiful world heritage listed area just ninety minutes drive north of
Sydney. The plateau is shrouded in thick rainforest that is home to hundreds of bird and
animal species that flourish here in their natural habitat. Wide rivers that cascade down the
high plateau sides in fierce waterfalls provide a beautiful spectacle and are also the basis for
many water based activities such as white water rafting.
There are many camping grounds here where you can bunk up and base yourself for further
exploration of the region. Horse riding is a favourite pastime, and there are trails and horses to
suit all levels of rider.The kids will love this adventure, as they will love hiring a canoe and
slowly paddling up the Barrington river, or taking an informed bushwalk through the rainforest.
There really is something for everyone here, and when you have satisified all your Barrington
Tops desires then its time to move downhill to the Hunter Valley, which is the oldest wine
producing region in Australia. Have a read of this article for more
information as to where to go and what to see when you visit the Hunter Region.
Wine is the primary attraction in the Hunter Valley, and it is the most visited wine region in the
country. Hop in your campervan and tour around the 80 wineries here, and find the perfect drop
for your palate. Take a stroll through the lush vineyards and learn more about the wine making
process and the industry in Australia. But this is not all the Hunter Valley is famous for, so if
you get tired of learning about and sampling wines then don't despair! The countryside is truly
magnificent, and the quaint towns dotted through it are friendly and full of cheer. The warm and
welcoming country folk will make your stay here a memorable one, and you probably won't
want to leave! For something completely different, go for an early morning balloon ride over the
valley. The panoramic views under the soft light of dawn are absolutely breathtaking.
