Hunter Valley Christmas Lights

We met Rhys and Effie our fearless leaders or maybe just partners in crime in Broke mid afternoon. We enjoyed a beverage or 2, set up camp and then our trusty designated driver took us into see the lights around 7pm.

We arrived and walked straight through with our tickets being prepaid it was easy. Then after picking up a slushy to cool off we took a walk through the gardens just on dusk. After having a good dose of red or blue sugar we decided to have a Tea party with Alice and a few other familiar friends.

We passed many fun nursery rhymes and this one in particular made us laugh. James just had to make up the missing sugar bowl so there was a full set.

Down past the Light tree, and onto the lake with the glorious waterfall we progressed.

It was a fairly long walk around the gardens so a rest with the reindeer was needed.

Once we finished we decided anther cool drink and light dinner was to be had while sitting watching the biggest Christmas tree in the grounds.

Now it was dark and there was about an hour till closing time we made another loop of the park to see the lights in their full glory.

Hmmmm nothing much to say but aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how sweet

This was one of my favourites.

While I had my back turned Rhys and Effie decided Humpty needed a push,

Luckily James was there to catch.....

BUSTED!!!!!!!

After making sure Humpty was ok I moved the “kids” on past Santa’s workshop.

Back past the light trees.

From here we headed back to camp for a cool beverage before bed and to finish off the weekend we enjoyed breakfast in a cafe then hit the road for home. It was such an enjoyable night we will be doing it again next year.
