The upper end of Hunter Valley is Australia’s main horse-breeding and thoroughbred area – indeed it claims to deal in as much horseflesh as anywhere in the world, with at least thirty stud farms. There are cattle- and sheep-breeding stations up here, too, while the fertile soils of the Upper Hunter also yield a harvest of cereals and fruits including, of course, grapes.

Heading on towards the heart of the New England Plateau, you pass Burning Mountain about 20km north of Scone, near the village of Wingen. The smoking vents do not indicate volcanic activity but rather a seam of coal burning 30m under the surface: the fire was ignited naturally, perhaps by a lightning strike or spontaneous combustion, over a thousand years ago. The area, protected as a nature reserve, can be reached via a signposted walking trail that starts at the picnic grounds at the foot of the hill, just off the New England Highway; pick up the informative NPWS guide to the area’s walking tracks from any NPWS office. Fourteen kilometres north of Wingen, MURRURUNDI marks the end of the Upper Hunter Valley. It’s a pretty spot, enclosed by the Liverpool Ranges, and the Café Telegraph here makes a good refreshment stop, with seats outside in the garden with the creek flowing past.
