About Glendon Brook

Glendon Brook is a small rural locality in the Singleton Council area of the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. Located along the Hunter River floodplain, it lies roughly 20 kilometres south-east of Singleton township, amid the rolling hills and vineyards that characterise this part of the Upper Hunter. The area has a 2021 Census population of around 368 and covers approximately 162 square kilometres of predominantly agricultural land. Its historic roots trace back to 1823, when Robert Scott established Glendon homestead — one of the earliest pastoral properties in the Hunter Valley.

Glendon Brook retains the quiet, unhurried character of a classic Hunter Valley farming community. The surrounding countryside supports cattle grazing, horse studs, and some viticulture, and the scenic landscape attracts weekend visitors drawn to the wider Hunter wine region. The old Glendon Brook Public School, which operated from 1878 to 1950, stands as a reminder of the area's rich rural heritage. Residents rely on Singleton for everyday services, schools, and employment, making it an ideal base for those who prefer country living within reasonable reach of a regional centre.

Glendon Brook falls under postcode 2330 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Upper Hunter electorate.
