Entertainment at the show includes a Rodeo, Centre Ring events, rides, demo derby and camp draft, and no show would be compete without a fireworks display.

What a wonderful world – sunrises in Singleton

There’s something magical about the rich, vibrant colours of a sunrise or sunset; watching as your eyes ever so slowly adjust to the stunning array of colour that paints the Hunter’s skies every day.

Singleton sunsets in particular have a special place in my heart. My drives from Newcastle (where I now call home) to my childhood hometown of Tamworth has led me to see these natural wonders over the years.

Heading up over the ranges, just past Lochinvar, the sun decides to wake up and unleash it’s raw beauty in shades of pinks, oranges, purples and blues. Then Singleton opens up in the distance below the hue.
