Cessnock
Cessnock is the chief settlement in the Hunter Valley region. It was once
centred around the coal mining industry, however that now being phased
out (and now centred mainly on Singleton and Muswellbrook) and replaced
by tourism due to the increase in vineyard production. The area is now
home to many successful wineries, open for tours and wine tasting. The
town itself isnt a great spectacle, infact more of a let down when compared
to the pictureque settings it lies in.
