Before leaving for the states, Rob took me out to celebrate my birthday at a very nice restaurant in Surry Hills. He surprised me with a weekend away in the Barrington Tops National Park – about 4 hours north of Sydney. Best part of it? The place we stayed was an all organic, 100% sustainable farm with very limited access to TV and wifi! It was our “vacation after our vacation” to the states and it was certainly needed. We hiked around, met the locals, drove to the highest point in Australia (1600m), ate deliciously cooked food, and slept (a ton). It was a perfect gift!
