Singleton Freight Services

Inland from Newcastle on the New England Highway, Singleton clusters a dense concentration of Upper Hunter coal-services work — Mount Thorley, Warkworth, Bulga and Hunter Valley Operations all sit within a short drive of the town, and the commercial base exists largely to service them. QFM supports inbound freight from every Australian capital via Newcastle and Sydney, covering mine-supply, construction and trade loads.

The Singleton base also handles a large ADF presence at Lone Pine Barracks, together with health services, retail and the construction pipeline that follows major project work. On-forwarding from Singleton reaches Muswellbrook, Scone, Aberdeen, Denman, Merriwa, Branxton and Maitland through our carrier network — standard runs across the Upper and mid-Hunter.
