SCONE - "The Horse Capital"
Known as the "Horse Capital of Australia", Scone is bursting with horse studs, and is renowned as the host of the "Scone Horse Festival", which includes the Scone Cup - the biggest country race day in Australia.
Scone's horsebreeding history dates back to the early 1800's, when George Bowman - a first settler and horse breeder - chose to settle in the area. Since then, horses such as the great Makybe Diva have been trained in the district.
Hillview is the perfect base as you explore Scone's rich horse culture.

Our favourite neighbouring town, Murrurundi has a charm all of its own. The picturesque 30 minute drive is stand alone worth it, but the charm and hospitality of Murrurundi once you arrive will definitely make you happy you made the trip.
Warbirds over Scone
A bi-annual event, the Warbirds over Scone is a spectacular day which sees restored fighter planes take to the airways over Scone. A must see for aviation fans.
