Upper Hunter Shire Region

The Upper Hunter is known as Australia’s thoroughbred horse capital, with lush pastures surrounding studs and dairy farms. The townships of Scone, Merriwa and Murrurundi each boast heritage pubs, bakeries and art galleries. Rolling hills lead to Barrington Tops National Park, where cool rainforests and trout streams await. Locals stock up on handmade cheeses and honey at Denman’s farmers market and take strolls up Burning Mountain, a natural coal seam that has smouldered for thousands of years.
