Activities at the common
Explore the Common
In the Gringai language Dungog means ‘sparsely wooded hills’. On the edge of Dungog town, surrounded by farmland, is an ‘island’ of country still largely covered in trees.
This is the Dungog Common, still with mobs of kangaroos, diverse bird life, grand views of the Williams valley, and a sense of the way the land was when the Gringai people walked these hills living their traditional lives.
Today the Common is communal land shared for recreational purposes – mountain-biking, walking, enjoying nature. It is open to everyone, any time. From grassy ridgelines with extensive views to shady gullies and a paperbark-lined stream – the Common is there for all to enjoy.
