Around Mudgee, NSW
The first European settlers arrived in Mudgee in 1821, finding good grazing lands on the banks of the Cudgegong River. The name Mudgee is derived from the Wiradjuri term “Moothi” meaning "Nest in the Hills" or "mou-gee" meaning "contented". The village of Mudgee was gazetted in 1838 and within a couple of years, the village had 36 slab dwellings, three hotels, a post office, Anglican church, police lock-up and a couple of stores. There was a gold rush in the district from the 1850s and while no gold was found in Mudgee itself, Mudgee was a centre for the local goldfields, and the town prospered and grew rapidly as a result. Reflecting the importance and prosperity of the town, the Municipality of Mudgee and the surrounding rural Municipality of Cudgegong were both proclaimed in 1860. Many fine buildings were erected, remodelled and enlarged, seemingly with a case of ‘one upmanship’ between opposing businesses! When the gold rush finished, agriculture became the main industry for the district and these days, that includes a booming wine industry with vineyards lining the hills in the surrounding areas.
Mudgee has a rich heritage of well-preserved buildings, in a variety of architectural styles, lining the streets of the town. It is not the sort of town you can just pass through without missing out on so much. I stayed the weekend with my wife, which meant I was able to get up early to take my photos, (mostly) avoiding cars and people in my shots!
Then, of course, there’s also the winery tours to fit in the schedule :)
