Nundle Woollen Mill
Nundle Woollen Mill is one of the last spinning mills still operating in Australia. It provides a wonderful insight into a very significant but little known-about period of Australia’s history – that of wool processing which formed the basis of Australia’s textile industry. The Mill also conserves industrial heritage and traditional skills and contributes significantly to the survival and on-going sustainability of the historic village of Nundle.
Nundle is less than an hour's drive south east from Tamworth, passing through picturesque countryside – fertile river flat farms, undulating grazing country, the Dungowan Valley and the Chaffey Dam.
Peel Inn
The Peel Inn has been an institution in Nundle since the gold rush days. It has been operated by locals Robert and Margret Schofield for 40 years, and now their sons Drew and Nathan as well as Rebecca (Nathan’s partner). The pub has been a friendly place for locals and visitors for as long as anyone can remember, and it also offers accommodation and a wonderful restaurant. The beer garden is just beautiful with an enormous leafy grapevine that has its own story to tell, an outdoor stage makes relaxing at the Peel Inn so good you won't want to leave.

You're sure to find something you need, either on our new online store or in our much-loved old store, where the ding-ding of a brass bell sounds arrivals, the scent of bulk tea, soap, candles and tung oiled floorboards arouses curiosity and eyes settle with ease on natural textures; candy striped cotton tea towels and aprons, stacked wicker baskets, and 120-year-old packing case shelving lined with flour stored in brown paper or cloth bags.

Cottage On The Hill - Patchwork Store
Hi I am Kerry Swain and I run The Cottage On The Hill, which is a Patchwork and Quilting store which has been operating since 1989. My store is situated in an American style barn on our family grazing property, south of Nundle on the Crawney Road. Directions - When you come into Nundle over the Peel River bridge come up to the Hotel corner, turn right, follow that road out of town for 4.5klm's. The Store is up on the hill on the left hand side of the road.
I specialize in 2 day Patchwork retreats which I hold most weekends of the year, as well as mid-week retreats held on Wednesday's and Thursdays, where ladies come and spend 2 days making a quilt top of their choice. I do all the cutting of the projects as well as feed everyone for the 2 days.
Every Tuesday I run a class which caters for ladies within 2 hours drive of Nundle. These ladies meet in store each week eager to learn new skills and undertake various challenges I set for them. During 2015 the ladies will be making charity quilts using their stashes of fabric.
Each March I host my “Girls Day in the Country” where I have over 160 ladies from all over Australia descend on Nundle for 2 wonderful days of sewing and friendship. I always have a guest tutor for Girls Day in the Country. Our Guest tutor for 2015 will be Lynette Anderson from Lynette Anderson Designs, the weekend is filling up very quickly so if you would like to attend jump over to www.cottageonthehill.com.au to book you spot.
On the second Saturday in May (Mother's Day weekend) I hold my Annual Outdoor Quilt Airing where we hang over 100 quilts on fences in the paddock surrounding the store. The quilts are made by students who attend class throughout the year. Devonshire tea is served all day. Open 10am to 4pm, everyone welcome. Entry is a Gold coin donation which will be donated to the Cancer Council Biggest Morning Tea.
I also run a mail order business in store where I specialize in pre-cutting kits in your choice of colour.
