Mudgee Region
The township of Mudgee was first reached by white man in 1821 by William Lawson and first settled in 1822 by George and Henry Cox. Early Australian architectural facades and historic buildings line the wide streets of Mudgee, many dating to the 1850s. Described by the National Trust as ‘one of the finest groups of townscape in a country area’, and referring to the buildings from St. John’s Church down to the old police station, Mudgee is still blessed with historic buildings, wide streets and an ambience that is the envy of many of our urban visitors. Today boutique shopping, cafes and restaurants, markets and a vibrant arts community give the town an edge, and ambiance which the locals revere and visitors covet.
Indulge your senses in the region and visit Gulgong, Rylstone & Kandos – enjoy wine, honey, cheese, visit museums, go bushwalking or birdwatching, go gold panning, visit markets, galleries, antique shops, a miniature railway, a boutique and brewery or star gaze at the observatory. There is something for everyone but whatever you choose, it’s in every sense perfection.
