Wollombi Village is at the centre of the Wollombi Valley, west of Cessnock. Very quaint, historic town (and the home Dr Jurds Jungle Juice), with a handful of weatherboard shops, a fantastic antique store and verandah-post buildings including the original Hotel/pub still in use by the locals. This is a great filming town.

The area now occupied by Wollombi village was a significant meeting point on the north-south trade and travel route for coastal Aboriginal peoples; their occupation of the region dates back some 12,000 years. The word Wollombi means “meeting of the waters” in the local Aboriginal dialect. Mt Yengo, to the west, is believed to be where Baiaime rose into the sky after his creation tasks were complete.
