About Gundy

Gundy is a small rural locality in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales, located within the Upper Hunter Shire on the banks of the Pages River, approximately 269 kilometres north of Sydney and 19 kilometres east of Scone. With a modest population of around 165 residents, the locality has deep roots in the region's pastoral and gold mining history, having developed as a service centre for miners and farmers in the 1800s. The surrounding countryside is characterised by open grazing lands and creek-side bushland typical of the upper Hunter region.

Despite its small size, Gundy retains a quiet country character with the iconic Linga Longa Hotel and Gundy General Store serving the local community and passing travellers. The Pages River and surrounding landscape offer opportunities for fishing, bushwalking, and experiencing the unhurried pace of Upper Hunter rural life. Those drawn to Gundy tend to appreciate its genuine outback atmosphere, with the nearby town of Scone providing access to schools, medical services, and broader shopping facilities.
