With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Scone, 30 miles away, has to offer. Scone Park ought to be at the top of your list here. Scone & Upper Hunter Historical Society Museum and Bill Rose Sports Complex are also not to be missed. Don’t miss Tamworth either! Just 40 miles away, Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre, Tamworth Capitol Theatre and Bicentennial Park are must-sees here.
