We are so lucky here in the Hunter; we really don’t have to go too far to get the holiday vibe – to spread our wings. There’s no need to spend wasted hours on the road when we’re lucky enough to have such a diverse range of lush landscapes and exhilarating experiences right on our doorstep. A COVID-scare in Port Stephens right before we went to print last month had us questioning whether or not to re-think this issue. But then we realised that this is likely the new-norm – at least for a little while. One thing that is certain though is that our local tourist destinations need us to keep supporting them. We need to travel to local gems like Port Stephens, the Hunter Valley and Lake Macquarie and immerse ourselves in all of the experiences on offer, not just for our benefit, but for theirs as well. So we encourage you to spread your wings as we move forward into Spring. Taste the delights of the Hunter Valley or spend a couple of days glamping it up in Port Stephens. Stay safe, stay positive and enjoy!
