The Hunter
August 27th 2007 05:28
The more one travels and face the questions from within and without, the more the brave traveller comes to realise that the answers may often not be the ones we are secretly hoping for. As we seek out the truth, the truth can hurt and we may find that the answers can break up a relationship, cause a longtime companion to drift off onto another path and see the disintegration of a dream but that is the sweet and the bitter of our journey. The answers may shock or haunt us, but they will compel us onto new roads and into new territory. And that's why we travel brave.
The drive through the Hunter Valley reminded me of parts of France or of one of my favourite cities, Geneva. The vineyards, the streets lined with stately trees and the smell of moist earth and distant undergrowth. It causes you to slow down on your drive through, to become a 'sunday driver' and you remind yourself...'hey, I'm on holiday. I can drive slow if I want, dammit.' And of course, you're right.
The Hunter doesn't offer much in terms of shopping so forget about picking up anything besides good wine and an apprecation for a slower pace but it's special for exactly that reason. You can't simply hole up in a mall.
The area's major drawcard is, of course, the vineyards. I would encourage travellers to enjoy the full experience of this area by taking the opportunity to stay on one, even for only one or two nights. The Vineyards Estate im Polkobin Really Long Link is a beautiful property. It allows you a rounded experience, especially if you only have a short space of time to spend in the Hunter.
