Martins Creek - Vacy

Martins Creek is a small country town located between Dungog and Maitland in the Hunter Region. The town is centered on Cory Street, which snakes its way through the centre of the town.

The village of Vacy is located at the junction of the Paterson and Allyn rivers, which was founded in the 1820s as a private town by John Cory, the owner of a large land grant. Vacy began to prosper in the 1850s and was a busy town by the 1870s. It remained a private town until it was sold in 1927 by the Cory family.
