Wallalong, New South Wales

In the heart of Hunter River Country, Wallalong is a small locality, across the bridge from the historic river port of Morpeth. Unique crops of broom millet were grown here in the early 1800's, which led to the establishment of a broom millet factory. Millet broom production has since moved to neighbouring Phoenix Park.

Wallalong was part of the estate of Dr Walter Scott who arrived in Australia as a ships surgeon in 1823. Historic Wallalong House now sits on the site of Scott's first house. A beautiful single storey brick structure, it has a wide verandah with extensive views of the district. The stables are one of the outstanding features of Wallalong House.

There is a small community at Wallalong, providing examples of early colonial architecture surrounded by picturesque rural lands.
