Local Attractions
An introduction to Wollombi.
Wollombi, established in the early 19th century in a fertile sheltered landscape, was a typical small colonial rural township of its time. Farmers, Kooris, convicts, bushrangers and many others who struggled to carve out a living in the bush, shared the surrounding valleys, and the echo of their lives can be heard in the beautifully preserved town of today.
The superbly restored stone works of the ‘Convict Trail’ along the Great North Road can be viewed at many sites between Wollombi and Sydney. These are excellent examples of early convict stone engineering.
