The rise of Newcastle as a port of call for cruise ships has opened the entire Hunter region to a new wave of tourists.
The Hunter first came to prominence as a tourist destination through the charms and attractions of its winemaking area centred upon the picturesque village of Pokolbin.
The Hunter Valley continues to attract tourists to the area with its innate beauty and world quality wines; however, more people are discovering the allure of Lake Macquarie – Australia’s largest coastal salt water lake, the World Heritage Listed Barrington Tops, the city of Newcastle, and the majesty of Upper Hunter Country.
