Relax on the
wonderful veranda watching the wildlife, reading a book, taking a nap, or
sipping on some of Mudgee's finest wines while you solve the problems of
the world
Take the folding
chairs, a picnic, your swimsuit (optional) and the binoculars and spend
the day by the river (150 metres from the house)
Cook up a barbeque
under the she-oak in the back courtyard and catch up with your friends
Explore the bush up
the hill behind the house and admire the view from the top
Wander along the
river bank and look out for the platypus
Take the folding
chairs to the middle of the paddock, switch the speakers to outdoors and
have yourself a "symphony under the stars" (a favourite of ours)
In winter get the
fire roaring, open a bottle of Mudgee red and play some of the many board
games provided or have a go at "Pictionary Charades"
Choose a recipe
from the vast selection of cookbooks and Gourmet Traveller magazines and
create a masterpiece in the well equipped kitchen overlooking the valley
Retreat to the
study and write that book you've been meaning to start, catch up on
letters to friends, or create an artwork. You can even plug your laptop
into the local phone line and check your emails (but only if you really
have to!)
