Murrurundi
Few places in New South Wales have a history as closely tied to the crossing of the Liverpool Range as Murrurundi. The town lies in the northern Upper Hunter, at the foot of these forested hills, where the Pages River runs through a valley of grazing country. Murrurundi developed on the route through the range that connects the Hunter Valley with the New England tablelands; today, the New England Highway follows this long-established north–south corridor. The Main North railway also reaches the town, underlining its long role as a stopping point between the Hunter and inland New South Wales. Wooded slopes and open paddocks give the settlement a distinctly rural setting.

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.

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.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
