Visit Dungog

Located in the Hunter Region, Dungog is the quintessential Australian town renowned for its forests, mountains and rivers. Bordered by the Barrington Tops plateau, the region is characterised by rugged hilly country and two principal rivers, the Williams in the East and the Paterson in the West.

The economy of this town and the Dungog Shire Council has traditionally been based on agriculture and timber, with the river flats suitable for intensive agricultural production.

Upon landing in the Dungog Region, there is a mountain of opportunities for activity. Visitors can explore the rainforests of Barrington Tops National Park, which are of international significance and form part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area.

Other areas of note include the Dungog Museum and the Clarence Town Historical Museum, which each focus on their respective town’s rich history with a desire for preserving and supporting the local heritage.
