Welcome to Upper Hunter Shire Council
 Upper Hunter Shire is located at the northern end of the wonderful Hunter Valley.
This Shire was formed from the amalgamation of Merriwa, Murrurundi, and Scone Shires during 2004.
The Shire has a vibrant rural community that has been able to develop its own unique character, with Aberdeen, the home of the Australian Blue Heeler and host to the annual "Aberdeen Highland Games"; Merriwa in the west being well known for its popular "Festival of the Fleeces"; Murrurundi with one of the largest sheep dog trials in the state and more recently the annual "King of the Ranges Stockman's Challenge", and Scone renowned for its thoroughbred horse industry, and the long running "Scone & Upper Hunter Horse Festival".
