By car
Singleton is a one and a quarter hour drive from Newcastle on the New England Highway. Singleton is almost exactly 200km North of Sydney by road via the F3 freeway and link roads through Cessnock & Branxton. Brisbane is about under 900km to the North via the New England Highway.
The Putty Road, a picturesque route through Wollemi National Park, connects Singleton to Sydney's western suburbs.
A little further off the beaten track is the Wollombi Road which follows sections of the original Great North Road into the region, now also know as the Convict Trail (http://www.convicttrail.org/), this links to Sydney and the Central Coast via areas such as Peats Ridge, St Albans and Wiseman's Ferry. Parts of the route are unsealed.
