====[[Pokataroo railway line|Pokataroo Railway Line]]====
The '''Pokataroo railway line''' is a railway line in [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]]. It branches from the [[Walgett railway line|Walgett line]] at [[Burren Junction]], and opened in 1906.<ref>{{cite web  | last = Bozier  | first = Rolfe  | work = NSWrail.net  | title = Pokataroo Line  | url=http://www.nswrail.net/lines/show.php?name=NSW:pokataroo| accessdate = 2007-09-19 |display-authors=etal}}</ref> There are signs of the line being constructed across the [[Barwon River (New South Wales)|Barwon River]] all the way to [[Collarenebri, New South Wales]]<br>

Another development during the mid 1800s, was the construction of railway lines throughout NSW, which provided an effective network of transportation for people and freight. In order to improve transport, a railway line was proposed to run from Narrabri to Walgett and Collarenebri. The project saw many delays and this resulted in the establishment of new villages at temporary terminuses. The line did not originally reach Collarenebri, terminating 13 km south-east, at Pokataroo. This was due to the Railway Department deciding that it would be too expensive to construct the necessary bridges, if the line was to continue to Collarenebri The railway line was later extended to service Collarenebri. (Terry Kass, 2003, p. 29).

'''The Geographic Centre''' of the Hunter Region is approximately 100KM Northwest of Newcastle and 10KM South of Muswellbrook @ Mt Arthur  {{Coord|32|21|47.6|S|150|51|30.5|E|type:landmark_scale:2000000_region:AU}} Equidistant from [[Ulan, New South Wales|Ulan]] in the West, [[Ellerston]] in the Northeast and [[Newcastle, New South Wales|Newcastle]] to the Southeast.



The '''Hunter Region''', also commonly known as the '''Hunter Valley''', is a region of [[New South Wales]], Australia, extending from approximately {{convert|120|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} to {{convert|310|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} north of [[Sydney]]. 
It contains the [[Hunter River (New South Wales)|Hunter River]] and its tributaries with highland areas to the north and south.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dlg.nsw.gov.au/dlg/dlghome/dlg_regions.asp |title=Department of Local Government - Regions |publisher=NSW Department of Local Government |accessdate=5 August 2007 }}</ref> Situated at the northern end of the [[Sydney Basin]] bioregion, the Hunter Valley is one of the largest river valleys on the NSW coast, and is most commonly known for its wineries and coal industry.

Hunter Region is not the Hunter (River) Valley Region or Hunter River Valley Catchment.<br>

"There are numerous other towns and villages scattered across the region in the eleven? (8) local government areas (LGAs) that make up the region."

==== Bylong ====

[[Bylong, New South Wales]]

Bylong has a railway [[crossing loop]], 1km East on the [[Sandy Hollow- Gulgong railway line, New South Wales|Sandy Hollow ~ Gulgong (Originally Maryvale)]] railway line.  The railway passes through a 2km long tunnel in the Bylong Range, 8km to the East-Southeast ({{Coord|32|26|11.0|S|150|12|00.5|E|format=dms}}) between the Bylong River & Murrumbo Creek Valleys, Murrumbo & Kerrabee tunnels lie further to the East & Wollar tunnel to the West.


[[Bylong Valley]]

The valley is split by a short ridge roughly one third of the way from its western end. 
The headwaters start in the [[Great Dividing Range]] to the North & West on Nullo Mountain.

The Bylong Valley carries the [[Sandy Hollow- Gulgong railway line, New South Wales|Sandy Hollow ~ Gulgong (Originally Maryvale)]] cross-country railway line which passes under Coxs Gap with a tunnel, and the [[Bylong Valley Way]] which climbs over the ridge through the gap. The path across this ridge is steep and winding, and is known as [[Coxs Gap]].

The boundary between [[Muswellbrook Shire|Muswellbrook Shire Council]] and the [[Mid-Western Regional Council, New South Wales|Mid-Western Regional Council]] area is right on the crest of Coxs Gap.



[[Bylong River]] {{Coord|32|39|09.2|S|150|12|33.1|E}}

Bylong River rises in the Eastern slopes of the [[Great Dividing Range]] in the [[Central Tablelands]], 12km North of Nullo Mountain, within [[Wollemi National Park]] and flows generally North, joined by seven [[tributary|tributaries]], including the [[Growee River]], before reaching its [[confluence]] with the [[Goulburn River (New South Wales)|Goulburn River]], north of the village of [[Bylong, New South Wales|Bylong]]. 
The river descends {{convert|530|m}} over its {{convert|48|km}} [[watercourse|course]].<ref name=bonzle/>

Bylong River rises in the central tablelands of the [[Capertee Valley]], within [[Wollemi National Park]], on the north-western slopes of the [[Great Dividing Range]], below Goat Mountain, and flows generally north-east, joined by seven [[tributary|tributaries]], including the [[Growee River]], before reaching its [[confluence]] with the [[Goulburn River (New South Wales)|Goulburn River]], north of the village of [[Bylong, New South Wales|Bylong]]. 
The river descends {{convert|530|m}} over its {{convert|48|km}} [[watercourse|course]].<ref name=bonzle/>

The Goulburn River which is the western 1/3 of the Hunter catchment, eventually flows into the Hunter River @ Denman & is a major waterway which flows into the [[Tasman Sea]] at [[Newcastle, New South Wales|Newcastle]].
<ref name=gnb>{{NSW GNR|id=ujwGWy|title=Bylong River|date=18 October 1968|accessdate=26 February 2013}}</ref>



[[Growee River]] {{Coord|32|43|18.8|S|150|11|08.9|E}}

Growee River rises in the Eastern slopes of the [[Great Dividing Range]] in the [[Central Tablelands]], 2.25 km NorthWest of Nullo Mountain,  northeast of Rylstone and flows generally northwest then north northeast, then north by west then northeast, joined by three minor tributaries before reaching its confluence with the Bylong River near Bylong. The river descends 407 metres (1,335 ft) over its 42 kilometres (26 mi) course.[2]

The Bylong Valley Way crosses the Growee River at multiple points from below Growee Mountain in the south to near the town of Bylong in the north.[2]


[[Bylong Valley Way]]

[[File:RailBridgeOverBylongValleyWay.JPG|thumb|right|Rail bridge carrying Ulan line over Bylong Valley Way near Coxs Gap]]
The [[Sandy Hollow–Gulgong railway line]] and part of the [[Merriwa railway line]], which form the [[Australian Rail Track Corporation]]'s '''Ulan line''' between Muswellbrook and [[Gulgong, New South Wales|Gulgong]], follow the same valleys as the Bylong Valley Way from near the Golden Highway to near Bylong, where the railway line continues west as the road turns south.

The Ulan line crosses the road three times, twice at level crossings and once on a bridge over the road. One level crossing is close to the Golden Highway while the other is close to Bylong. The railway bridge is on the western side of Coxs Gap, between the level crossings.

The [[Gwabegar railway line]] crosses the road on at a level crossing the northern side of Rylstone.

All three of the level crossings have flashing warning lights but not boom gates.

== Sydney Water Supply ==
===[[Shoalhaven Scheme]]===

====Water Supply====
Water in the scheme is stored in three principal [[dam]]s and their associated [[reservoir (water)|reservoirs]]: [[Tallowa Dam]], [[Fitzroy Falls Dam]] and [[Wingecarribee Dam]]. [[Wingecarribee River]] is a tributary of [[Warragamba River]], so water pumped into Wingecarribee Reservoir can be released into [[Warragamba Dam]] and hence the [[Sydney]] water supply. 
Water can also be released into the [[Nepean Dam]] via a rock cutting known as Glenquarry Cut can be transferred to Sydney via tunnels from Nepean to Avon to Cordeaux to Cataract & Pumped into the Canal. 
Water from the Nepean Dam to [[Wollongong]] via [[Avon Dam]].

===== [[Burrawang Pumping Station]] =====

===== [[Wingecarribee Dam]] / [[Wingecarribee Reservoir]] =====

==== Power generation====
In addition to its water supply capabilities which supplements water supplies to the [[Sydney]] area, the Shoalhaven Scheme also comprises two hydro-power facilities, with total generating capacity of {{convert|240|MW}}. The flexibility of the scheme is that it can operate as either a pump or a [[Electric generator|generator]]. During off peak periods, it utilises excess electricity from the [[Electrical grid|grid]] to pump water back up to the reservoir(s) as [[Pumped-storage hydroelectricity|pumped storage]]. The two power stations are:<ref name=EE>{{cite web|publisher=[[Eraring Energy]]|url=http://www.eraring-energy.com.au/Default.aspx?aCateId=805|title=Shoalhaven|work=Generation Portfolio: Hydro Power Stations|date=2 May 2013|accessdate=4 May 2013|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130503172928/http://www.eraring-energy.com.au/Default.aspx?aCateId=805|archivedate=3 May 2013|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref name=SCA>{{cite web |publisher=[[Sydney Catchment Authority]] |url=http://www.sca.nsw.gov.au/dams-and-water/major-sca-dams/shoalhaven-system/hydro-electric-power-generation |title=Hydro electric power generation |work=Water supply: Major SCA dams: Shoalhaven system |date=31 May 2011 |accessdate=4 May 2013}}</ref> The Kangaroo Valley and Bendeela power stations were completed in 1977 as a joint project between the [[Electricity Commission of New South Wales]] and the NSW Metropolitan Water Sewerage and Drainage Board. Management has subsequently been passed from those bodies to [[Origin Energy]] and the [[Sydney Catchment Authority]].<ref name=EE />

===== [[Fitzroy Falls Dam]] =====

===== Kangaroo Valley Power Station =====
'''Kangaroo Valley Power Station''' in the [[Kangaroo Valley, New South Wales|Kangaroo Valley]] has two {{convert|80|MW|adj=on}} [[Electric generator|pump turbines]], for a total electricity generating capacity of {{convert|160|MW}}. 
From Bendeela Pondage, the Kangaroo Valley Pumping and Power Station lifts water a further {{convert|480|m}} to Fitzroy Falls Reservoir via a tunnel, shaft, pipeline, and canal. 
Water available for hydro-electric power generation is discharged back down the conduits, driving turbines as it returns to Bendeela Pondage, through the Bendella power and then Lake Yarrunga.

=====Bendeela Pondage=====

'''Bendeela Pondage''', completed in 1972, is an earth and rockfill embankment dam structure located above the [[Bendeela Power Station|Bendeela Hydroelectric Pumped Storage Power Station]] on the [[Shoalhaven River]] / [[Kangaroo River (Shoalhaven)|Kangaroo River]] which both go into the [[Tallowa Dam]] and the [[Kangaroo Valley Hydroelectric Power Station|Kangaroo Valley Hydroelectric Pumped Storage Power Station]]. 
It's a small storage buffer dam for between the two [[Pumped-storage hydroelectricity|Pumped-storage Hydroelectric Power Station's]].

=====Bendeela Power Station=====
'''Bendeela Power Station''' has two {{convert|40|MW|adj=on}} pump turbines, for a total of {{convert|80|MW}} of electricity generating capacity. Bendeela Pumping and Power Station, located on the [[Kangaroo River (Shoalhaven)|Kangaroo River]] arm of Lake Yarrunga, lifts water {{convert|127|m}} to Bendeela Pondage.

{{Main|ABC Radio and Regional Content}}
The ABC operates a network of 54 local radio stations, in addition to four other national networks and an international service [[Radio Australia]]. In addition, [[ABC DiG|DiG Radio]] launched on digital platforms in 2002, currently offering three separate stations.

These are the five national networks:

[[ABC Local Radio]] is the Corporation's flagship radio network with a station in each broadcast area. These are networked together in various ways depending on programming at certain times to become a regional, a multi regional, a sub-state, state, multi state or a national network. <br>
There are 54 individual stations, each with a similar format consisting of locally presented light entertainment, news, talk back, music, sport and interviews, in addition to some national programming such as ''7:45AM News & AM'', ''Conversations'', ''(State) The Country Hour'' in rural areas &/or ''[[The World Today (Australian radio program)|The World Today]]'', ''Australia Wide & PM'', ''Evenings'', ''Nightlife & Overnights'', ''Saturday Night Country'', ''Australia All Over'' and ''Grandstand'' sporting events.

[[Radio National]] broadcasts more than 60 special interest programmes per week covering a range of topics including music, comedy, book readings, radio dramas, poetry, science, health, the arts, religion, social history and current affairs.

[[ABC News (Australian radio network)|ABC News]] is a rolling news service, previously known as the [[Parliamentary and News Network]] and ABC NewsRadio. The service was established to broadcast federal parliamentary sittings, to relieve the local ABC radio network from this intermittent task, and to provide a news service at other times. The network broadcasts news on a 24/7 format with updates on the quarter-hour. Much of its news content is produced by the ABC itself, however many programmes are relayed from the [[BBC World Service]], [[National Public Radio|NPR]], [[Deutsche Welle]], [[Radio Netherlands]] and [[CNN Radio]].

[[ABC Classic]] was the ABC's first FM radio service. It was originally known simply as "ABC FM", and for a short time{{quantify|eg "until [year] as"|date=April 2013}} "ABC Fine Music". Its format borrowed heavily from community stations that eventually founded the Fine Music Network, as well as [[BBC Radio 3]].

[[Triple J]] is the national youth radio network, and broadcasts contemporary alternative and independent music; it is targeted at people aged 18–35. While the network plays music from around the world, it has a strong focus on local artists. Triple J was formerly known as "Double Jay" when it launched in Sydney on 19 January 1975.

'''ABC Upper Hunter''' (call sign: '''2UH''') is an [[Australia|Australian]] [[radio station]]. It is the [[Upper Hunter]] service of the [[ABC Local Radio]] network, and serves [[Muswellbrook]] and surrounding areas. 


====== History ======

ABC Upper Hunter commenced as a local relay of [[Newcastle, New South Wales|Newcastle]]'s 2NC (now [[1233 ABC Newcastle]]) in 1964. 
While there was some local information on the station, the reporter responsible was based in Newcastle.  
It wasn't until 1990 when a local office of the ABC was established in the Upper Hunter, basing itself in Market Lane Muswellbrook. [[Mike Pritchard (Australian journalist)|Mike Pritchard]] joined the broadcaster from the ''[[Scone Advocate]]'' newspaper, and has been the station's rural reporter ever since, even acting as the lone employee in the region on occasion. In 1997, the station moved to its current facilities in Brook Street. 

Throughout 2009, the station's programming went on hiatus while the studios were upgraded with digital equipment. Rural programming came from [[ABC New England North West]], while local news and other programming continued to originate from ABC Newcastle. Regular programming resumed mid-year once the upgrade was complete.

====== Frequencies ======

ABC Upper Hunter transmits on both the AM and FM bands from four transmitter sites in the Upper Hunter.

The main AM signal, with the callsign 2UH (as in '''U'''pper '''H'''unter), operates on 1044 [[kilohertz|kHz]], and reaches most of the Upper Hunter. This signal is transmitted from the [[Broadcast Australia]] site on Sandy Creek Road just outside Muswellbrook. 

The station relays its programs on the FM band from three translator sites, all using the callsign 2HVR (as in '''H'''unter '''V'''alley '''R'''adio).

====== Freq \ Retransmission ======
Three sites are located in the area as well.

====== Programming ======

The station produces local programming for both its local frequencies and for Newcastle's [[ABC Radio National]] frequency.

Two rural reports are produced, one for the Lower Hunter and transmitted on the Radio National frequency at 5.30am weekday mornings and infrequently [http://www.abc.net.au/rural/nsw/upperhunter/ podcast] online. 
The second is an Upper Hunter and New England North West rural focused report, and airs at 6.15am on ABC Upper Hunter's local frequencies following a 6AM news bulletin and early AM. 

A local breakfast program follows the 6:30am and 7:30am locally transmitted news bulletins before crossing to the network for the national news and ''[[AM (ABC Radio)|AM]]'' at 7:45am.

The station opts out of lunchtime programming from 1233 ABC Newcastle to carry ''[[The Country Hour]]'' at 12.00pm, followed by ''[[The World Today (Australian radio program)|The World Today]]'' on a one-hour delay at 1.00pm. A Hunter-based news bulletin is aired during the Country Hour at 12.30pm from the Newcastle studios. This is simulcast on the Newcastle Radio National frequency.

Outside of these times, the station carries ABC Newcastle and national programming, including [[Newcastle Knights]] and [[Newcastle Jets]] games, provided other sports coverage (such as [[cricket]]) does not force local sports coverage onto the Newcastle [[ABC NewsRadio]] frequency (incidentally, the former frequency of fellow Muswellbrook station [[2NM]]).

Radio National program ''[[Late Night Live]]'' often originates from these studios, as presenter [[Phillip Adams]] and his partner [[Patrice Newell]] own an organic farm in the area.

In mid-2009, the station launched a new hour-long program called ''Upper Hunter Weekend'', which previews events in the Upper Hunter for the coming weekend. It airs Friday mornings at 11am, and is hosted by Silas Moss and Niav Owens.

Local broadcasts include the Upper Hunter and New England Rural Report at 6:15am weekdays. 

====== Streaming ======

ABC Upper Hunter is not streamed online. Local broadcasts include the Upper Hunter and New England Rural Report at 6:15am weekdays. All other programs are streamed via ABC Newcastle. There is a "Listen Live Link".

The Scheme was proposed in 1938 and abandoned in 1947.
