Gulgong

Posted by Picasa
Gulgong, is a picturesque gold rush town featured on Australia's first $10 note. It is also the second largest town in the mid-western Regional council area with a population of about 3,000 people. It is only a short drive from Mudgee.
When we visited on Sunday, 7 June it was the Henry Lawson festival. There were street parades during the weekend (although we missed it), and the singing of a number of Henry Lawson's works.
The town looked a bit deserted and we realised later that a lot of the population are at the races!
