In StoryLand

Overdue entry, but nonetheless. Made a second trip to Hunter Valley in the space of only four months. I must say the first trip back in January was pretty rushed, so this was more laid back and relaxing. First winery stop was at Iron Gate Estate, where the group made the most wine purchases after some good persuasion and delicious chocolate cakes that complimented the sweet wines well. I'm all for sweet wines and dessert wines. Yum.



After lunch, we hopped over to the Hunter Valley Gardens. The pictures speak for themselves. Storyland Garden brought back a lot of childhood memories.

Jack, Jill and friends went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And everyone came tumbling after!

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
Everyone who went to garden
Was glad that Humpty is one again

Crashing in at The Mad Hatter's Tea Party


Georgie Porgie puddin' and pie
Kissed the girls and made them cry
When he tried to get another peck
I gave him a slap, oh what the heck!


Enjoying the tranquility of the Japanese pagoda in the oriental garden


So many more gardens not mentioned - enough said! Go visit.
