The peace and quiet, beautiful hills, and boutique businesses in and around Nundle often give visitors reason to lengthen their stay in this unique country NSW town. People turn off the New England Highway, intrigued by the many signs to Nundle between Wallabadah and Nemingha, and discover there is too much to do in a day. Nundle and Hanging Rock have a small population (about 300 people) and traditionally punch above their weight when it comes to quintessential country hospitality, quirky events, and community services. The towns are just 10km, but a dramatic 600m elevation apart, creating extraordinary differences in climate, plantings, and landscape. Why not contact our Visitor Information Centre.

Thanks to Danielle Norton for the following wrap of her family gathering at Nundle:
Over the weekend of February 20, four generations of the Tamworth Nortons and Weavers descended upon Nundle to celebrate the 80th birthday of Pauline Norton. Fossickers rented cabin and caravan space to local family members and those from as far as Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne.
Pauline and husband, Frank, were thrilled to hitch up their caravan and hit the road. They’ve been around Australia six times, so the journey from Tamworth was uneventful, and the wine and cheese table was set up by the time the rest of the family started rolling into town.
The couple held court from their central space for the whole weekend, leaving only for the main celebration in the beer garden at the Nundle Hotel on the Saturday night.
Pauline gave a fascinating speech, enlightening the crowd about pre-electricity, pre-telephone farm life in the 1950s, the tragedies her family endured and her trailblazing personal career achievements. From horse and cart to four wheel drive, from dairy farmer to high flying corporate, from young and fancy free to old and wise, her tales kept the crowd enthralled.
Pauline’s faith and her deep love of her family has sustained her all of her life and she prays for every family member every day (which is just as well. Some of us wonder where we’d be if she didn’t!).
Daughter, Leeanne Smith, is the professional organiser of the family. Nundle’s proximity to Tamworth made it a natural choice. We’ve been out for family weddings and celebrations over the decades and everyone always loves it. Leeanne’s daughter-in-law, Este, baked a brilliant birthday cake adorned with homemade macaroons. The family photographers were charged with tasks and everyone had a ball.
If Leeanne was the maestro of the weekend, Pauline’s son, David Norton, was the court jester. He and his family entertained with a little ditty, the great grandkids singing proudly for Pauline and the crowd.
The family took in the sights of the region. We visited the shops and the wool mill, some of us quite keen to part with our tourist dollars. We drank coffee and ate doughnuts, swam in Sheba Dam, rummaged through the op shop at the hall, fossicked for gold (but found quartz) at a secret location along the Lookout Road and snapped a selfie at Hanging Rock Lookout.
The kids made new connections with their cousins, second cousins, and extended family. The adults said, “We should do this more often.”
Nundle, you’re so pretty. We’ll be back.
Thank you so kindly for sharing this heartwarming story. Nundle is a unique little town for such a family reunion! Congratulations to you all for honouring and celebrating togetherness!💕
Happy 80th birthday Pauline 💕💕
We were in the garden at the same time. I hope your 1; 2,3,4,5 song was recorded
