Muswellbrook, Mining and agricultural town in Upper Hunter Region, New South Wales, Australia.
Muswellbrook stands 243 kilometers north of Sydney, surrounded by coal mines, horse breeding farms, and vineyards in the Hunter Valley region.
The Wonnarua and Gamilaroi peoples maintained deep connections to this land before European settlement led to the town's official establishment in 1833.
The Blue Heeler Film Festival and Muswellbrook Carnivale bring together local residents for celebrations that highlight regional arts and traditions.
The railway station functions as a transportation center, connecting passengers to Newcastle and Sydney through regular regional and long-distance train services.
Open-cut coal mining operations began in 1944, transforming the landscape and establishing Muswellbrook as a primary energy production center in New South Wales.
