Gloucester

At A Glance

Gloucester, NSW, a scenic town of 2,500, sits at the base of Barrington Tops National Park. Agriculture, mainly dairy and beef, drives its economy. Increasingly, it’s a “tree change” destination for those escaping city life, being a 1 hour 40 minute drive from Newcastle. Tourism is growing, with visitors enjoying hiking and rafting. The Gloucester Museum showcases local outlaw Captain Thunderbolt, and the Copeland Historic Gold Mine Tour explores the gold rush. Mountain biking at Steps Mountain Bike Park and the Mountain Man Tri Challenge are popular. Taree is an hour away, and Gloucester is a stop on Thunderbolts Way.
