Tourist Drive 33

It was awesome... We have been traveling to hunter valley from last 5 years but never took this route... We loved it... No traffic.... Just that you will have to be aware as there are lot of biked in this route.. So be careful while driving.... It's a very scenic route and you will come across lot of small beautiful towns and Cafe..

Hunter valley landscape at best to be viewed from this drive. Be mindful of no reception of mobile signals in some along the route.

That is definitely a must do - but during day hours only - worth seeing while sun is setting

Tourist Drive 33, Sydney to Hunter ValleyGreat alternative to driving up the highway is to take Tourist Drive 33 through some really nice farmland and towns. There are a few places to stop such as Thompsons Bridge, Trading Post (for coffee or a drink in the rustic terrace, then just walk around), then there is the town of Wollombi, where you have a variety of cafes, a pub (where they were playing 2-up on Anzac Day), and restaurants including Myrtle & Stone which has a good selection of meals and great service, with 2 wrap around balconies and garden terrace out back.#TouristDrive33#MyrtleandStone

A great escape from the buzz of city life, very peaceful and picturesque drive. Very highly recommended for peace of mind escape.

A lot of replanting going on still have Christmas stuff in the gardens, looks like we should have come there at night.

It's ok. Tarmac is, how should I put it, historic, the road is winding, swarms of bikers in search of validation and attention. Some nice and a lot of shady villages and places to eat. It's ok. Don't expect too much.

Heritage town with unique boutique shops. The area has plenty of places to pull over and stretch the legs. Toilet facilities are located in the park with soap and paper towel.

I love this drive with all the small rustics villages/ country beauty. The landscape always changes, so I keep on coming back.
