Wyong - Central Coast

Wyong is an Aboriginal word meaning ‘place of running water’ or ‘edible clam’ and it is said that the Darkinjang Aborigines occupied the Wyong area prior to the Europeans settling in the early 1800’s, initially to gain access to the cedar forests then to farming.

Being one of the two Shires that make up the Central Coast, the township of Wyong is just over an hours drive north of Sydney and is situated in a very central location in which to explore surrounding areas such as the Yarramalong and Dooralong Valleys and the Watagan State Forest to the west and coastal towns, lakes and ocean to the east.

Wyong Railway station and the local bus service makes Wyong a place within ‘easy reach' of everything on the Central Coast. For those who like a punt on the horses, situated a short walk from the railway station over the railway brigde is Wyong Race Club.
