Scone: Scone Aerodrome

The Upper Hunter Valley defines the setting of Scone — broad pasture country below the Liverpool Range has made the town a centre of Australia’s thoroughbred breeding industry. Often called the Horse Capital of Australia, Scone is home to stud farms, training operations and the annual Scone Horse Festival, which includes the Scone Cup race meeting. The town stands on the New England Highway, serving a rural district where horses remain central to local identity and commerce.

New South Wales is widely known within Australia for Sydney Harbour, home to the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The state extends from the Pacific coastline across the Great Dividing Range to wide inland plains within the Murray–Darling Basin. Sydney is Australia’s largest city and a major centre for finance, arts and international travel, while inland districts are strongly associated with farming and long distances between towns. The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, form part of a UNESCO World Heritage area of eucalyptus forests, sandstone escarpments and deep valleys.
