It is from these beautiful hills that the name Dungog, 'A Place of Thinly Wooded Hills' was derived. The hills are at their most striking in the early morning or
the evening when the light casts long shadows from the trees and mist hangs in the valleys.
Dungog first settled in the 1820's is two and a half hours easy drive from Sydney. With its wide streets and country charm it is the shopping and business
centre for a thriving community based on beef cattle, controlled logging of hardwoods, dairying, deer farming and tourism.
World-class wilderness most of Barrington Tops will always be forest, protected as State Forest and National Park, and with pristine regions designated
Wilderness Areas and listed under World Heritage legislation. There is wide diversity, from vigorous regrowth stands of tall straight eucalypts, to ancient
beech forest pure and undisturbed. There is rich sub-tropical rainforest in the lowland gullies, and twisted, stunted snowgums on the high plains.
There are tracks for mountain-bikers, horse riders and four-wheel drives. Camp sites in the bush with crystal-clear streams with sparkling waterfalls and
pools.
