About Dungog Shire
Our Shire is known for its relaxed and friendly country lifestyle, with easy access to the World Heritage-listed Barrington Tops National Park, with beautiful walks, mountain biking, overnight hikes, and great picnic, fishing and camping spots.
As a member of our community, you can enjoy gourmet food, craft beer breweries and wineries all close by, too!
