Films

Tired of reading all of this history? Don't stress, history isn't all tarnished paper and blurry photographs. Check out the trailers for some of the films made in the Scone region. From dramas to comedies, war films to love stories, to films that drastically challenged racism in Australia, the Upper Hunter has been the birthplace of many famous and influential films. Click here for more.
