The Great Outdoors

Wollombi is surrounded by Yengo National Park and the Watagans, making it a perfect location for bird watching, bushwalking, observing native fauna, and generally enjoying time in the great outdoors.

Anzac Reserve
Located at the beginning of Narone Creek Road, the reserve is perfect for a picnic or a spot of bird watching. Why not ride your bike?

Local Bushwalks
The Wollombi Valley is a great base for short walks or long treks. Bordered by Yengo National Park and the Watagans State Forest and Watagans National Park, a range of walks is available. Maps are available at the General Store.

Aboriginal Sites
The name 'Wollombi' is derived from the Aboriginal meaning 'meeting place' or 'meeting of the waters' and prior to European settlement Wollombi held great significance for local Aboriginal tribes who used the area as a ceremonial meeting place.

The Convict Trail
This is the name for the convict built Great North Road, the surrounding land and historic buildings. It was constructed between 1826 and 1836 to provide an overland route between Sydney and Newcastle. It remains an extraordinary feat of engineering.
