Midori, I have inquired about the road works on Broke Rd in the Hunter Valley. I work fast
I called the Mercure Resort in the Hunter Valley Gardens.. The young lady that answered my call had no idea where Broke Rd was located
I called the Harrigan's Irish Pub..They assured me that there are roadworks after Hermitage Rd.
I called the council telling them that i would like to take my family on a trip..They directed me here

http://www.cessnock.nsw.gov.au/resource ... %20web.pdf The PDF clearly states that after Hermitage Rd there are road works in progress untill 2014. I think we will be fine if we take a left at Hermitage Rd

If i can be of further assistance please don't hesitate to ask
