Hi Liz, Bell Trees in the Hunter Valley is a beautiful part of the Hunter Valley NSW, it's near Scone in the Upper Hunter Valley in Australia's premier thoroughbred horse breeding area, the valley around Scone is dotted with thoroughbred studs, with billions of dollars worth of prime breeding stock from around the World on each stud, there's billionaire owners of the studs from England, Australia, America and even a couple owned by Saudi and Quaiti Sheiks. Scone and the Bell Trees area it's about 4 hours south of Sydney NSW by car. Have a good trip and if you make it to Bell Trees you'll enjoy yourself, it's a popular get away. But if you take a trip around the horse studs, don't take a shining to any of the foals unless you've got 200, 300, 500 hundred thousand dollars Australian and that would be if your good at bargaining.
