Lake Crackenback, Thredbo, Jindabyne on this side of the river, or from the Victorian side, Mount Buffalo, with a stop at Beechworth or Bright on the way.

If you come and visit my neck of the woods I'd take you up to Port Stephens (affectionately known as "The Bay"). It's stunningly beautiful. Or maybe we'd go to the Hunter Valley vineyards... but we'd be driving not cycling. Just sayin'. ;-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-33446924097507221552016-11-15T09:35:23.538+11:002016-11-15T09:35:23.538+11:00Can't speak for most of the country as I haven...Can't speak for most of the country as I haven't travelled enough of NZ myself. However, in Wellington, I'd recommend Zealandia, Te Papa (the museum) and if you are inclined towards it, a tour of our Parliament. That comes with the note, that I would not recommend any of these things this week.Lyn Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-91411276151066103662016-11-15T06:19:20.335+11:002016-11-15T06:19:20.335+11:00I would love to visit you in the Blue Mountains, K...I would love to visit you in the Blue Mountains, Kandy.
