MONDAY 10 TO FRIDAY 14 MAY 2021

Located around 270 kilometres to the north-west of Sydney the areas of Mudgee, Gulgong and Hill End exude country charm and provide travellers a chance to reset their senses offering the best of both worlds with quaint central townships and picturesque country landscapes.The township of Mudgee was designed by Robert Hoddle, famed for designing the city of Melbourne … the broad wide streets abound with many fine old stately buildings from the last century, many of which are now classified by the National Trust.

In contrast the township of Gulgong is a step back in time with its original and narrow bent streets and high footpaths. Gulgong was founded in the gold rush era when it was estimated more than 20,000 people flocked to the area. The streetscape and heritage buildings haven’t changed much since the late 1800’s many complete with the original verandahs and iron-lace balconies … one such gem is The Prince of Wales Opera House, it is the oldest performing arts venue still being used for its original intention in Australia, and whose history boasts a performance by Dame Nellie Melba.

Hill End also owes its existence to the gold rush of the 1850’s it is now home to a small eclectic community and where visitors can explore the town through its museums, arts community and more … the world’s largest gold specimen, the ‘Holtermann Nugget’ was found in Hill End in 1872. The famous nugget was a 630lb rock containing more than 75% gold. Our journey home will see us travel through the Upper Hunter Valley with a visit to Singleton. (Image courtesy Tourism Australia)
