The Hunter

The Hunter is a great place to live and work. With Australia's largest regional population it has the benefits of a big city with the ease of a country town. The Hunter has a great environment, heritage, culture and gourmet living.

Enjoy spectacular coastline and pristine waterways. Newcastle boasts some of Australia's best beaches. Cafes, bars and restaurants surround its large working harbour and adjacent foreshore and parklands.

Maitland offers city services in a unique heritage setting, while Cessnock is home to one of Australia's most famous wine regions. Muswellbrook and Singleton are bustling regional centres underpinned by the mining industry. With more horse studs than Britain and Ireland combined, Scone and the Upper Hunter attract the international set.

As a centre for manufacturing, retail, health, tourism, education, environmental services, information technology, call centres, finance and insurance, the Hunter offers real employment choices for your partner.

The Hunter is so close to everything that counts. Less than two hours drive from Sydney or 30 minutes by air, it also offers easy access to NSW's holiday coast, Queensland's Gold Coast and the scenic Central Coast.
