Murrurundi occupies a narrow valley beside the Pages River in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales. Set below the Liverpool Range, the town lies on the New England Highway, an important inland route linking the Hunter Valley with northern New South Wales. Its streets retain a small-country-town scale, with historic buildings reflecting the settlement’s development around road and rail travel. Nearby, Burning Mountain Nature Reserve protects a rare naturally smouldering coal seam, a geological phenomenon that has burned beneath the ground for centuries. The surrounding district is known for grazing country, bushland and the mountain approaches to the west.
