Hunter Valley Quotes

“Back then the towering gums marched down to the water and the area was sparsely populated with fibro weekenders - simple cottages and boat sheds - mainly owned by coal miners from the nearby Hunter Valley. My grandfather worked in the mines. He'd lend my family the one room boffy attached to his boasted almost every school holiday, and I have such vivid memories of jumping off his jetty and boiling crabs for dinner and fishing with a line wrapped around a piece of cork and playing in the rock pools and parking about in his tin runabout.”

“Muistan vieläkin hämmästyttävänä hohtavan vihreän ja kultaisen värin ja aistillisen viskositeetin viinin kieriessä laiskana lasissa kuin siestaltaan herätetty kurtisaani.”
― Oz Clarke
