It has been a tough two years, with COVID-19 restrictions and their impacts on businesses likely to be felt for some time yet.
For those who were impacted by the isolation and stress, it has been a challenging time all around.
But, looking towards the start of a brand new year, we have the opportunity to celebrate that we are once again able to meet as groups and toast to a very happy season in one of Australia's most beautiful locations.
It will be a welcome chance to raise a glass, share a meal or sneak in a sweet treat for our Christmas cheer. There is no end to the opportunity to sample the best within Port Stephens and, for our day trippers, across the Hunter region as a whole.
While the beaches beckon as the days warm up, the Port Stephens region is not just made up of its beaches. It is an area of huge variety, complete with dramatic dunescapes, inlets, coves, lush paddocks and vibrant communities.
It is the home of dynamic businesses, manufacturers, aviation, innovation, sustainability and excellence.
Now that we are able once more, it's time to explore and make the most of the opportunities on offer in the wonderfully diverse - always surprising - Port Stephens.
