The Hunter Valley stretches from the Goulburn River and Wollemi National Park to the South right upto Barrington Tops National Park to the North. Not only does the Hunter boast wonderful scenery, but it is also home to a large wine and coaling industries.
The majority of the vineyards can be found in the Lower Hunter, although the Upper Hunter also has its own attractive quality with its vast horse breeding and racing as well as several vineyards.
Famous racehorses are bred on beautiful stud farms, flowers grow in profusion at its Rose Farm and holiday-makers surf and boat and fish at the beach resorts strung along its eastern seaboard and its seaboard waterways, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Myall Lakes and Wallis Lake.
Newcastle, the State’s second biggest city, is the industrial and commercial centre of the area with its own share of ocean beaches and recreational facilities. North of Newcastle, along the coast, and around the lakes are the best known resorts, Nelson Bay, Shoal Bay, Bulahdelah, the twin resorts of Forster and Tuncurry, which are linked by a bridge across the island-dotted Wallis Lake and have a total of 13 fine surfing beaches.
Taree, on the banks of the Manning River, is within an easy drive of the spectacular Ellenborough Falls and the dense rain forest of The Brush (near Wingham), where giant trees, subtropical plants and flowers proliferate. Near Taree, too, are small secluded resorts, Crowdy Head, Harrington and Old Bar.
Inland, the fertile Hunter is rich in natural and man-made tourist attractions. It is the oldest commercial grape-growing area in Australia, dating back to the 1830’s in the hills of Pokolbin where, today, visitors can inspect the wineries and taste their famous wines.
Man-made lakes including Glenbawn and Chichester Dams, and large power stations including Vales Point, Wangi, Munmorah, Liddell, Eraring and Bayswater (under construction).
