Aberdare is a suburb of Cessnock, a large town based on coal mining in the Lower Hunter Region, New South Wales, Australia. Aberdare is a small suburb just 15 minutes from wine country, 45 minutes from Newcastle and two hours from Sydney.[17] George Brown found coal in the area in 1800s.[17] Coal mining created the land boom of 1903-23 and by 1926 Cessnock had a population of 12,000 within a one-mile radius.[17]
