Pronouncing Names of the Upper Hunter: Say it Right!

HOW many times have you been asked if Scone is pronounced “like the thing you eat with jam and cream?”

Is it Scone or Sc-own?

It’s time we sorted out how to pronounce names of the Upper Hunter once and for all, so we created a video putting our new journalist Taylah to the test.

We thought it was a good way to introduce Taylah to the area and perhaps save her from mispronouncing those names when she is out on the job.

Enjoy this learning journey in the video below and if you have a town name, family name or even a street name that is commonly mispronounced, leave it in the comment section and well endeavour to teach the world how to say it right!
