About KURRI KURRI

The original inhabitants of the area were thought to be the Darkinjang people. The town was named in 1902 and was believed to mean 'hurry along' in the local aboriginal dialect. In 1856 coal was discovered, but the real potential of the gold seam was not acknowledged until 1886. The town was laid out in 1902 to house the miners and their families who had lived in makeshift accommodation since the collieries had opened in the area. In the late 1950s the pits began to close, largely due to the opening of open-cut mines in the upper Hunter area.
An aluminium smelter which opened in 1972, and wine became the main contributors to employment and to the local economy.

Mt Sugarloaf Lookout is close to the town, and has several walking tracks and facilities for picnics and barbeques.
