Share my Snaps! Tourist edition

Hunter Valley


I've been offline for awhile now - having relaxed, watched soccer, and squeezed in the school holidays.
With the kids we did a bit of this (Hunter Snowtime)








and a bit of that (Airlie beach).
Hideaway Bay





Plenty of beaches, boats and snorkeling.






White Haven Beach



Under duress we took in a bit of art (at Carriageworks),
















renewed our membership at the Powerhouse (please don't move it!)














and even a High tea at the QVB.






See more on Instagram! Gotta Love this Country! What have you been up to?
Linking with #TravelTuesday as there was a fair bit of exceptional Australian nature in those holidays....

    Every year I miss the winter wonderland at Hunter Valley - you'll have to remind me next year :) Looks like you've had very happy holibobs, I could totally get on board with that high tea!

    Some fabulous pics there. Whitehaven Beach looks every bit as awesome as I've imagined it to be. As an aside, when we lived in Castle Hill, we were always hoping they'd move the Powerhouse to the overflow site at the TAFE there...

    You certainly have been getting around. The Whitsundays would have been the perfect winter escape for you. #TeamLovinLife

    I really love that carousel pic - it's gorgeous and the art with the red flame picture where you're sitting on the striped surface just looks amazing - though could screw with my mind a little! #teamlovinlife

    I feel like you only just did Winter Wonderland in the Hunter. Must have been last year? Time flies. I looked at Airlie Beach when I booked our Port D trip. Port D won out in the end. Perhaps we'll do Airlie next time :)
