Kurri
Kurri , NSW
| Kurri Kurri claims the distinction of being the first town in NSW that owes its origins to government planning. The town’s street signs testify to its beginnings - many of the streets take their names from politicians who, presumably, had a hand in the planning the Hunter Valley coal town in 1902. |
Half an hour north-west of Newcastle, Kurri Kurri is a town which has often
been called on to publicly mourn its dead and headstones and a memorial in the
local cemetery are liberally sprinkled with the names of miners who have given
their lives in the quest for coal. Kurri Kurri is within a few minutes drive
of historic Maitland and the vineyards of the Lower Hunter. The most imposing
building in town is the three-storey Kurri Kurri Hotel
