Ellerston is a rural locality of the Upper Hunter Shire local government area, about 68 kilometres (42 mi) north-east of Scone in the Upper Upper Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia.

[1][3][6] It is about 322 km (200 mi) from Sydney, the state capital.

Ellerston Pastoral station is a large property that was owned by media mogul Kerry Packer and since his death is run by other members of the Packer family.

[7] The property also boasts some of Australia's best polo fields.

[9] The course, which was designed by Greg Norman and Bob Harrison, is exclusive and open only to members and guests, so, on some weeks, only six people play golf there.
