Dungog Council’s economic development and tourism co-ordinator Ivan Skaines says the brochure encourages people, both locals and visitors to the area, to spend more time exploring the shire.
The re-print has been made possible by sponsorship from the local financial institution The Mutual.
General manager of The Mutual Geoffrey Seccombe said they are proud to be involved with local community sponsorships and supporting the areas in which they operate.
“We are pleased that our association with the Dungog VIC has made this publication possible,” he said.
“The Mutual offers a range of financial products and services and operates locally through their agency with Addison Partners in Dowling Street, Dungog.”
The brochure features four scenic drives around the shire:
* The great all rounder, a 71 kilometre circuit which includes the major towns of the shire namely Clarence Town, Dungog, Gresford and East Gresford, Vacy and Paterson.
* The great country wander, a 56 kilometre drive which includes Paterson, Vacy, Martins Creek, Wallarobba, Glen William and Clarence Town.
* The great forest adventure, a 117 kilometre drive which includes East Gresford, Allynbrook, Eccleston, Upper Allyn, Salisbury and Dungog.
* The great mountain adventure, a 64 kilometres circuit which includes Bandon Grove, Chichester Dam, Telegherry Forest Park, Frying Pan Creek, and Main Creek. Fosterton Loop is included as a 31 kilometre option.
“The suggested drives are flexible enough so people can extend their drive or combine drives if they are here for more than one day, or modify a drive if they are short of time,” Ivan said.
“We have also given estimates of distances for each of the drives rather than times so that people can drive according to the conditions of the road, and also allow time for sightseeing stops along the way.
“We have already sent copies of these brochures to neighbouring Visitor Information Centres.
“We will also be sending a similar package to businesses and community organisations who are members of the Dungog VIC for distribution to their guests and customers.”
If readers would like copies of the brochure they should contact Wendy Farrow at the VIC on 4992 2212 or email dungogvc@ceinternet.com.au.
