What a great place to visit, and I’ll let you in on a little secret for another reason to visit this majestic area – Barrington Tops Tourism have just been announced as a finalist in the 2010 NSW Tourism Awards.

It’s no surprise this special place is a finalist – with events, attractions and activities taking place all year round, discover outback adventures, relax and do nothing or go bushwalking, four wheel driving, swimming, canoeing or horse riding.

Award winners will be announced in Sydney on 19 November.

Want to know about the birds and the bees? Well, maybe just the bees. The Morpeth Honey Festival will ensure these questions are answered for you, from 21 – 24 October.

There are honey tastings, bee keeping and cooking demonstrations with honey. Learn how the bees make honey, and then taste the finished product!

Taste 13 different honeys, honey wine, mustards, dressings, chocolate honey and dessert sauces.  Discover honey skin care and honey for healing.

Best of all, admission is FREE!

Experience a piece of Newcastle history at the newly opened Honeysuckle Hotel, down on Lee Wharf. With a great view of a working port, a fantastic atmosphere and great food, it’s definitely worth the visit. And if you’re a beer lover like me, you’ll love the beers on tap.

I think the best feature is that there’s plenty of space to pull up a few chairs with your friends, and soak up all that encapsulates Newcastle – right on the harbour.

Check it out this weekend and decide for yourself what you love most about this new Newcastle treasure!

Can you smell the sweet scent of roses? Try 2 million of them to be exact! The annual Hunter Valley Gardens Rose Spectacular is now on.

This is one of those events that you will want to share with your mum, nana, aunt, sister or daughter.

The Gardens are an easy drive from Newcastle or Singleton and surrounds. And don’t worry – you have plenty of time to check it out; they are on now until 14 November.
