The Scarecrow Trail

The scarecrows can be viewed alongside the road on the Great North Road (Route 33) from Murrays Run to Millfield, which goes through the villages of Wollombi and Laguna, in the NSW Hunter Valley. In only two hours from Sydney, you could be enjoying the fun of the Scarecrow Festival! Just hop off the F3 Freeway at the Peats Ridge exit, and follow the signs to Wollombi.

The Wollombi Valley: If you're looking for a relaxed getaway or somewhere to unwind, you've found the perfect destination. Stay for a weekend or a week, and wake up to the sound of birdsong, mist-filled valleys and a welcoming spirit. From a B&B or guesthouse to a secluded cottage, you'll find accommodation to meet your requirements and budget.

The relaxing atmosphere hides a wealth of activities and attractions. Local restaurants and cafes offer everything from fine dining to a casual al fresco meal. The valley is rich in history, from aboriginal rock engravings to the convict-built Great North Road and historic buildings of the Wollombi village. Take in one of the regular exhibitions at the Wollombi Cultural Centre, or taste award winning local wines at a selection of boutique wineries.

Enjoy the superb natural beauty and peaceful countryside by visiting Yengo National Park or the Watagan Mountains, take on a bushwalk, or sample a Dr Jurds Jungle Juice at the infamous Wollombi Tavern.

Discover for yourself why visitors come back to the Wollombi Valley time and time again.
