The 10 Best Things to do in Scone, New South Wales

The Scone Race Club is located in the epicentre of the thoroughbred horse breeding capital of Australia. A club steeped in tradition & heritage, where quality and progression is essential. The Scone Race Club conducts 17 TAB race meetings per year (including the carnival) and has a fully operational Function Centre which is beautifully appointed and has spectacular views. This is available for guests on race day as well as being hired out for weddings, dinners, parties and conferences. The support of Upper Hunter Valley thoroughbred studs, feed companies and auction house Inglis, all contribute enormously in bringing the dream of a metropolitan standard carnival to Scone, and for that we are very grateful. The current racecourse, constructed in 1994 is only 2 minutes from Scone Airport. The racing surface is known to be the best country circuit in New South Wales. It attracts the leading city and provincial trainers such as James Cummings, Peter Snowden, Gai Waterhouse, Chris Waller..

Enduring holiday memories abound at Reflections Holiday Parks Lake Glenbawn, where the stunning scenery and lure of Glenbawn Dam combine to create a simple, yet standout spot just perfect for your next holiday escape. Just 15 minutes out of Scone, in picturesque Upper Hunter country, the spacious Lake Glenbawn Holiday Park is an oasis of green rolling hills, pristine water, plenty of wildlife and a well-deserved reputation for some of the best freshwater fishing in NSW.

Enjoy hiking the mountainous terrain, keeping an eye out for the birds and animals as you go, or simply relax and admire the water views from your spot on the hillside.
