Great Northern Trading Post

Great Northern Trading Post is truly an eclectic, unique place to have a drink, a feed and listen to great music ~ only an hour from Newcastle and the Central Coast or just over that from Sydney.

We feature live bands most Friday nights, our local musos jam night on the last Friday of the month and our regular Laguna Market Day and Acoustic Jam showcasing the best this region has to offer on the third Sunday of the month.

GNTP boasts great food and exceptional coffee and is open seven days a week. We do fabulous breakfast rolls on weekends and have a well stocked general store, whether you are stopping in for a last minute ingredient or to throw together a picnic (or a meal).

GNTP is also the only petrol station in the Valley and we also restock gas and ice if you need it.

Baiame Cave

Baiame Cave is of state significance for its association with the main figure depicted in the cave, believed to be Baiame, who is understood by some Aboriginal people across NSW to be the creator, the 'Father of All', the most important ancestor and law-maker. The site is also of state significance for its history and associations with the Wonnarua, the Aboriginal people who are understood to be the traditional custodians of the artwork prior to and post colonisation. The painting is representative of the traditional heritage of the Aboriginal people of the Hunter Valley and of NSW.
