About DUNGOG

The area is believed to have been occupied by a clan of the Wanaruah Aborigines. The first Europeans in the area were stockmen in search of lost cattle. Large quantities of cedar soon attracted timber getters. Land for a township to be named Upper Williams was set aside in 1830, and in 1834 the name Dungog was adopted. The town name was derived from a a place of thinly wooded hills. A town plan was approved in 1838, and the town was well established by 1850.

Timber cutting was the mainstay of the local economy until the 1860s when it was supplemented by a tobacco factory, a flour mill and a tannery. The local timber industry supplied timber for a portion of the interior of the Sydney Opera House in 1972.

Dungog is a shopping and business centre for a thriving community based on beef cattle, controlled logging of hardwoods, dairying, deer farming and tourism. Chichester Dam, state forests and Barrington Tops National Park are all located to the north and easily accessible from Dungog.
