Slow Food Earth Market, Maitland
The Slow Food movement was established in Italy in 1986 with the goal of ensuring everyone has access to good, clean and fair food. Now a global movement, its Earth Markets bring this philosophy to local communities. There’s just one in Australia: Maitland’s Slow Food Earth Market. All produce must meet the movement’s defining principles, be sourced from within a specified radius, and the producers must be on site themselves to meet the customers and share their knowledge. Fill your basket with heirloom vegetables, grass-fed meat, biodynamic bread, organic herbs and native spices.

When: First and third Thursday of the month 8.30am-1.30pm
Where: The Levee, High St, Maitland

The Great Gatsby

With the success of the newly opened Broadway show, The Great Gatsby, which brings the glitz and glamour of the 1920s to life in New York, now is the perfect time to explore the very place that inspired it all - Long Island's North Shore.

Discover the charm of the Gold Coast, visit Oheka Castle, and step into the setting of one of America's greatest literary works.

Long Island

You’ve heard about the famous white-sand beaches. And the world class wineries, fresh local produce and seafood. Long Island was named one of the world’s Top 10 wine regions and boasts top-rated restaurants. Two beaches regularly head Dr. Beach’s celebrated Top 10 list. But there’s even more to discover.

Only minutes from Manhattan, find everything you need for a perfect getaway! Each of Long Island’s four travel regions has its specialties: the North Shore’s opulent estates and harborside villages, the South Shore’s Belmont Park racetrack, Jones Beach boardwalk and concerts, and expansive Eisenhower Park, home of the 2024 International Cricket Council Men’s T20 World Cup qualifiers, the North Fork’s farmland and vineyards, and on the South Fork—The Hamptons and Montauk, popular for swimming, biking and trophy fishing as well as celebrity sightings.

Take in breathtaking ocean views from the top of Montauk Lighthouse, tour the halls and gardens of the magnificent Gold Coast mansions like Old Westbury Gardens, or play the championship golf course at Bethpage State Park. Catch a ferry on the South Shore to explore Fire Island National Seashore’s high dunes and maritime forests. Cultural and historic treasures include the Heckscher Museum of Art, Parrish Art Museum, Sag Harbor Whaling Museum, Sands Point Preserve, and Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame celebrating the region's biggest stars.

Kids love fun-filled days at Adventureland Amusement Park, thrilling guests of all ages since 1962. Budget Travel and The Travel Channel rated Splish Splash, one of America’s Top 15 Waterparks.
