Murrurundi

Murrurundi is an historical village on the New England Highway between Scone and Tamworth in NSW. Don’t be fooled by the size of this place. After talking to the locals at the Visitor Information Centre and the Caravan Park we discovered that there are plenty of interesting places to explore close by.

The area within a four kilometres radius of the Murrurundi Post Office is a National Trust Heritage Precinct, and a brochure is available from the Visitor Information Centre listing the historical buildings to look at. 

• Amazing features we are yet to visit include:
  Burning Mountain and Wingen Maid – smoke come from cracks in the ground which is comes from a coal seam burning underground.
• Wingen Maid is a profile of the section of the mountain which looks like a woman. 
• Wallabadah Rock – the third largest  monolith in the Southern Hemisphere
• Timor Caves – limestone caves in the Upper Hunter Valley

There are a several cafes and restaurants in town and it is definitely worth a stop during your travels to look around. A very welcoming caravan park sits on the edge of town which has new owners who are working hard to update the facilities – it is owned and operated by RVer’s for RVer’s and we found them most helpful. We would not hesitate to stay here and look forward to heading back soon
