Phoenix Park, New South Wales

Located in Hunter River Country, across the bridge from Morpeth is scenic Phoenix Park stretching along the Hunter and Paterson Rivers. The Parks' name originates from Phoenix Park in Dublin, Ireland, as the Park resembled the green flat parks of Ireland. Historically, the banks of the Paterson River were renowned for boat building with the River often congested as it was a major source of transportation for trade. Phoenix Park is famous for the production of handmade millet brooms, made by the Wright family for over a century. There is a private museum that from time to time has an exhibition of millet broom manufacture.

Surrounded by farmlands and pasturelands, fresh produce and hay bales are often posted for sale. An area steeped in history with the ambience of a bygone era.

Bed and breakfast accommodation is offered in a bio-dynamic farm.
