Nundle Woollen Mill

Nundle

Just 50 minutes from Tamworth, Nundle Woollen Mill offers one of regional NSW's most distinctive day trips. Welcoming around 30,000 visitors each year and recognised at both the NSW and Australian Tourism Awards, the Mill has earned a reputation as a memorable regional experience. Step inside a working woollen mill where historic machinery still performs its original purpose, transforming Australian wool into yarn before your eyes. The sights, sounds and movement of the production floor bring Australia's wool and manufacturing story vividly to life, making the experience fascinating for families, history lovers, makers and anyone curious about how things are made. Join a guided weekday tour, meet the people keeping these traditional skills alive, then explore the Mill store, filled with colourful Australian yarns, pure wool clothing, famous Nundle socks, accessories and thoughtful gifts. You do not need to be a knitter to enjoy it. Come for the machinery, craftsmanship and country hospitality, then stay to explore Nundle's heritage village, local eateries, independent stores and beautiful surrounding landscapes. Nundle Woollen Mill is not history behind glass. It is a living Australian wool story, and it is well worth the drive.
