Bago Maze and Vineyards
Thursday, June 26, 2014
The Gold coast to Sydney stretch has many beautiful
locations such as the beautiful Coffs Harbour Jetty, each one worthy of its own
holiday. Nestled away from bustling cities however are Bago Vineyards that
definitely top the charts for uniqueness. If the abundance of the sweetest jams
and delicious wines were not enough, this hidden gem harbours the biggest hedge
maze in NSW, sprawling over 10,000 square metres. Having just encountered
several navigation issues (the GPS always mucks up when one’s truly pressed for
time) we arrived ten minutes past the entrance time with disappointment written
all over our face. Yet, the wonderful Mobbs (owners of the beautiful vineyards)
were so warm and friendly allowing us entry anyway. Now let’s be honest,
getting lost and fighting demons in a huge maze is on everybody’s bucket lists
and that’s exactly what we pretended to do, our very own testament to Mr. Harry
Potter’s adventures. For the first 10 minutes anyway because soon enough frustration
started to creep in as with the sunset round the corner we really didn’t want
the embarrassment of Mr Mobb having to come and show us the way. Fast forwards
20 minutes of skilled navigation skills (let’s ignore the bit where we ran
around in circles shall we?), and we’re out.
