Singleton

Few towns in New South Wales have a history as closely tied to coal mining as Singleton. On the Hunter River in the Upper Hunter Valley, it stands amid a working landscape of mines, cattle properties, vineyards and thoroughbred horse studs. Coal remains central to the local economy, while the valley’s wine and equine industries provide a rural counterpoint. Singleton was originally known as Patrick’s Plains and later took the name of John Singleton, an early colonial landholder. Its broad streets and surviving nineteenth-century civic buildings reflect its long-established role as a service centre for the surrounding district.
