At the northern end of the Tablelands region, Muswellbrook Shire is smack bang in the middle of glorious Upper Hunter Country and is a great spot to base yourself for a stop over on your journey along in the Tablelands region.

Take the Mudgee Trail along the Golden Highway or the fresh approach to life along the recently completed Bylong Valley Way to Rylstone and Kandos – grand sandstone cliffs, the original “bronzed Aussies” soaking up the sun.

Muswellbrook Shire is the powerhouse of the Hunter, with electricity generation, coal mines, world class wineries along the Upper Hunter Wine Trail, fabulous thoroughbred horse studs, beef cattle and dairying.

Make the most of your trip with great fishing, golf and bowls all year round, exciting country cups, art galleries, bushwalking in ancient forests, great restaurants and country pubs, places to camp, mountains to climb, history to uncover and a host of events to enjoy.
