Two hours north of Sydney is the Hunter Valley wine region; it also used to be known for coal mining, and in one small town we saw a sign that said, under the name of the town: mines, wines and people. We stopped at two boutique "cellar doors" as they call them here, and the Smelly Cheese Shop before lunch, then two more wineries and a chocolate shop in the afternoon. We were a boisterous group of 14: four Canadians and ten Aussies - it was a long day and a lot of fun! And of course we learned a lot about wine and tasted a lot!
