Cessnock

28/05/09 Thursday Day 286
Once again we continued south, ever getting closer to Sydney. We left Port Macquarie in lovely sunshine only to reach Newcastle in clouds and rain. We have no luck. We didn’t get out in Newcastle. We had lunch in the van near Nobbie Beach. It’s a very industrial town and relies on it’s port activities by the looks of it. The city centre has really just a pedestrian street. So we continued to Cessnock in the heart of the hunter valley region.
Cessnock is again small enough town, easy to get around. It’s got the usual big shops, Woolworths, Coles, Target, Big W.
There’s loads of winery’s around the region too but you’d want a few days here to do it properly. Unfortunately we don’t have a few days.
