A relaxed breakfast in the "funky" camp kitchen and we were back on the road. Our original plan had been to head to Barrington Tops from Yarralen but with extreme fire danger and 40-degree temperatures forecast we postponed that idea for a few days and headed to Cessnock for a couple of days where we decided to visit wineries in air-conditioned comfort for a couple of days.
After setting up at Cessnock Showground we headed into town for a bit of shopping and then back for beer o'clock followed by trout and salad for dinner before heading off to the Hunter Valley Gardens for their Christmas Lights Display. All quite spectacular but we didn't enjoy the crowds in these Covid-19 aware times.
