Central Coast NSW - Singleton

Singleton

Geographical heart of the Hunter Valley situated on the Hunter River. 250km north-west of Sydney, Singleton is at the heart of the Hunter Valley - that magical place of wine and horse studs. In a beautiful, rich and rolling landscape which is perfect for grazing, bucolic pursuits had to take a back seat years ago to the vast open-cut coal mines which made this one of the most prosperous rural areas in NSW.

If you’re interested in firearms, make sure you visit the Royal Australian Infantry Corps Museum of Small Arms at the Singleton Army Camp, and take a look at the historical museum in Singleton’s courthouse, built in 1841, and Bayswater Power Station - the biggest thermal power station in the southern hemisphere. The museum is housed in a building erected by Benjamin Singleton and is a fine example of Georgian architecture, with an interesting mid-Victorian portico.

The Caledonian Hotel opened in 1853 and has beautiful ironworked verandah. Not far from the town is the massive Liddell power station.
