SYDNEY - Visiting Hunter Valley - Hunter Valley Gardens

Hunter Valley is Australia's oldest wine region and is known for having some of the world's leading winemakers, finest restaurants and the most beautiful Gardens. We drove our Ferrari F360 and it took us about 2 hours from Sydney city. The roads at Hunter Valley were pretty rocky so drive carefully. We ate at Twine Restaurant and had their famous signature dish "Chilli Mud Crab" and it was very delicious! It was served in a hi-tea style! See www.twinerestaurant.com.au for more information. We prefer Asian food above all cuisines :)

Hunter Valley Gardens has a Rose Garden that has over 8000 spectacular roses and a Storybook Garden that feature timeless childhood favorite characters such as Alice in Wonderland and Humpty Dumpty. It is a beautiful garden suitable for both adults and children. A lovely way to spend a beautiful sunny day indulging in beautiful nature and to relaxed with a picnic on the fresh green grass.

During my visit, I was lucky to catch the Christmas Lights Spectacular and it was amazingly beautiful with more than 1 million lights put up in decorative style to make the night a magical experience! It kinda reminded me of the nights in Tokyo Disneyland! Below are some lights displays listed on the Hunter Valley Gardens website:

• The Twelve Days of Christmas music and light display in the Border Garden

• The Cactus music and light display

• Three Mega Trees that are 12m, 9m and 6m high

• Breathtaking Tunnels of Light

• Music and light display throughout the Storybook Garden

• The greatest story ever told at the Nativity Scene

• Life size Horse and Carriage Lights Display

• Giant Christmas Tree
