Mudgee (including Eurunderee)
Interesting and important town with a number of historic buildings
'Mudgee' reputedly derives from the Wiradjuri Aboriginal term 'Moothi' meaning 'nest in the hills'. This is a suitable title as Mudgee is an attractive town of fine old buildings, located in the broad, picturesque and fertile Cudgegong River Valley. Surrounded by hills of green and blue, it is situated 265 km north-west of Sydney, 470 m above sea-level and has a current population of around 8200. The area is noted for its fine wool, beef, fat lambs, cereal crops, lucerne, vegetables, vineyards and honey. There is also a coal mine at Ulan, a large export abattoir, a livestock exchange and numerous horse, sheep and cattle studs.

The first European in the immediate vicinity was James Blackman who headed north to the Mudgee area from what is now Wallerawang in 1821, becoming the first European to cross the Cudgegong River. It is known that he had a slab building on the townsite by 1837.

Once Blackman proved the route passable William Lawson, who had failed in an earlier attempt, travelled north to Mudgee where he found some excellent grazing land. Lawson had been a member of the first European party to cross the Blue Mountains in 1813 and was then commandant of Bathurst. He later took up 6000 acres along the Cudgegong River.

He was immediately followed by George and Henry Cox (sons of William Cox who built the first road over the Blue Mountains) who became the first permanent European settlers on the Cudgegong River when they established the 'Menah' run, 3 km north-west of the present townsite. It was here that the first settlement developed. A police station and lock-up were established in 1833.

Prior to that time the district had been occupied by the Wiradjuri people. Relations were amicable when white numbers were negligible but, as settlement escalated in the 1820s, conflict increased. Kangaroos and possums, major food sources, were slaughtered wholesale by whites. Sacred sites were desecrated and prime riverside land was taken. In 1824 martial law was declared and armed settlers roamed the countryside murdering Aborigines on sight, thereby decimating the tribe which was dispossessed and completely broken by the 1840s. William Cox, who made a significant contribution to their extermination, claimed the last local black died in 1876.

The village of Mudgee was gazetted in 1838. By 1841 there were 36 dwellings, mostly of slab construction, including three hotels, a hospital, a post office, two stores and the first Anglican church. The first school (Anglican) was established in a slab hut in the 1840s and the police station was moved from Menah to Mudgee in the mid-1840s. The population had only reached about 200 by 1851.

However, a goldrush began when a huge nugget was found at Hargraves in 1851. Mudgee became a centre for the local goldfields, benefiting considerably from the consequent through-traffic which peaked with the finds at Gulgong and Hill End at the beginning of the 1870s.

It is a sign of Mudgee's early success that the population increased to 1500 by 1861 and it was declared a municipality in 1860, making it the second-oldest town west of the Great Dividing Range. Methodist and Presbyterian churches, the present Catholic and Anglican churches and the first National school were all built in the 1850s. In addition a police station, courthouse, post office, mechanics institute, the present Uniting Church and a town hall were added from 1860 to 1865. There were four coach factories operating in the 1860s to cater for the overwhelming transport demands.

Fortunately, Mudgee was not just dependent on gold. The immediate area became noted for its quality wool and merino studs, its vineyards (introduced by a German immigrant in the 1850s) and its agricultural production. When the gold began to peter out late in the 19th century it was the strength of these staples which sustained the town. When the railway arrived in 1884, it further boosted agricultural sales.

One of Australia's most famous poets and short-story writers, Henry Lawson (1867-1922), had very strong ties to Mudgee. His parents were married here in 1866. But for a brief stay at Gulgong, he was raised, from the age of six months to 15 years, in a cottage 8 km north at Eurunderee which was established after a gold find in 1863. Lawson was educated at Eurunderee and Mudgee and many of his stories are inspired by his memories of the area.

Of more infamous repute are the Governor brothers, Aboriginal bushrangers who, in 1900, went on a murderous three-month rampage, killing ten people (see entry on Gilgandra). One victim was 70-year-old Kiernan Fitzpatrick who was shot in front of his hut near Wollar, 48 km north-east of Mudgee. Consequently, the Aborigines of Wollar were forcibly removed to the Brewarrina mission.

The Mudgee Wine Festival runs throughout September, the Mudgee Show in March and the Mudgee Small Farm Field Days in July at the Australian Rural Education Centre, 3 km north of Mudgee, off Henry Lawson Drive, near the airport. Markets are held on the first Saturday of the month at St John's Anglican Church, and at Lawson Park on the second Saturday.

Heritage Buildings
The following walk is not identical to the town walk outlined in the information centre's 'Mudgee Walks' pamphlet.

Market St
On the eastern side of the information centre is the Classical Revival stuccoed-brick post office (1862). One of the first major country post offices in the state, it features an arcade with a pediment parapet and small belltower. On the western side are the old police station and stables (1860).

The park was Mudgee's first market place and the venue of the first Mudgee Show in 1846. It has beautiful gardens, a band rotunda (1903), free electric barbecues and childrens' play facilities.

Head west along Market St. To the right, just past Douro St, are the old offices of Cudgegong Shire, located in a two-storey brick building (1885). Further west is the simple brick-and-iron courthouse (1861), with its elaborate wrought-iron dock.

Colonial Inn Museum

Colonial Inn Museum
Return to Market St and continue west. Just past Cox St, to the right, is the Colonial Inn Museum, formerly the West End Hotel (erected in 1856 on land taken up by George Cox in 1822). A bar, parlour, bedroom and kitchen have been recreated in 1870s fashion. Some of the items derive from the old Budgee Budgee Inn, 10 km north on the Cassilis Rd.

Blackman Park
Head south on Cox St for one block to the Mortimer St corner. Blackman Park was a cemetery from 1844-88. Although the headstones were removed to Memorial Park, it still contains the Blackman Vault at its western boundary which contains the remains of James Blackman who, in 1821, became the first European in the area.

Mortimer St
Head east along Mortimer St to the Douro St corner where you will find the aforementioned headstones in Memorial Park. Continue east to St Paul's Presbyterian Church (1875-78) on the right. The church hall and Sunday school were the town's original Presbyterian church (1857).

Perry St
Turn left up Perry St. To the right is the Salvation Army Citadel (1889). To the left is Lovejoy St. The building at 1 Lovejoy St is the old Australian Joint Stock Bank (1865).

At the south-western corner of Perry and Gladstone Sts is the old Mechanics Institute (1861), now a private home. The High Victorian Gothic schoolhouse (1876) is on the western side of Perry St, between Gladstone and Denison Sts. The original section is now part of the primary school.

Uniting Church
Return to Mortimer St and continue eastwards. To the right is the Methodist (now Uniting) Church, built 1863-64. The first Wesleyan Chapel was built in 1853 and is now incorporated into the block of shops at the corner of Mortimer and Church Sts.

Lewis St
Continue east then turn left into Lewis St. To the left, about halfway along the block, is the second site of St Matthew's Convent which transferred to this spot in 1880. Poet Henry Lawson briefly studied here.

Lawson Park
At the end of the road turn left into Short St. Lawson Park, on the banks of the Cudgegong River, has two sandstone monuments - one constructed in 1910 to commemorate 50 years of local government and the other from 1921 to denote the centenary of European discovery. There are free electric barbecues, picnic facilities, a swimming pool and childrens' play facilities.

Opposite is the Lawson Park Hotel, built c.1860 as Tattersalls. It is a rare survivor of a council order to dispense with balconies. In recent times this order has been comprehensively reversed with the current council actively encouraging the restoration of old balconies and verandahs.

State Bank (the old Rural Bank)

Market St Again
Turn left down Church St. At the south-eastern corner of Market and Church Sts is the Gothic Revival St Mary's Catholic Church. The sanctuary and vestry are part of the original 1857 sandstone building, with the present body added in 1873-76 and the steeple in 1911. The presbytery (1851-52) is one of the oldest standing buildings in Mudgee.

On the north-western corner is St John the Baptist's Anglican Church (1860-61). The large organ dates from 1881 and the church has some notable stained-glass windows. Adjacent (in Church St) is the Sunday school hall, built in 1860 as an Anglican school.

Heading west on Market St are the old town hall (1880), now the town library, and the old two-storey CBC Bank building (1884). Over the road is the Colonial Mecca Building. It was built in the 1850s as the Town Hall Hotel. The front wall was reconstructed from local stone and is full of leaf and fish fossils, petrified wood and some interesting stone shapes.

St John the Baptist Anglican Church

Railway Station
Just outside the scope of the walk, at the corner of Church and Inglis Sts, is the elegant Victorian-era railway station with its French Empire style roof. It was designed by John Whitton and built 1883-84. Special event and some goods trains now use the Mudgee Railway station that also houses Mandurah at the Railway which displays local arts and crafts daily from 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m., tel: (02) 6372 2822.

Lookout
If you continue south along Church St, take the second right into Madeira Rd, then the third right at the top of the hill, it will take you to Flirtation Hill Lookout.

Henry Lawson
One of Australia's most famous poets and short-story writers, Henry Lawson (1867-1922), had very strong ties to Mudgee. His parents were married here in 1866. Although Henry was born at the Grenfell goldfields, he was raised, from the age of six months to 15 years, in a cottage 8 km north of Mudgee at Eurunderee (then known as 'Pipeclay'), which was established after a gold find in 1863. He briefly attended the local Catholic school. Lawson later swapped stories with 'Duke' Tritton at Mudgee's Miner's Arms Hotel and wrote much of his work while living in the area late in the 19th century.

The Wallaby Track drive tour takes in various sites associated with Lawson and his writing, including the old Eurunderee School, the Henry Lawson Memorial, the Budgee Budgee Inn (out on the Cassilis Road), Sapling Gully, Golden Gully and the site of the Albury Pub which was owned by Lawson's grandfather. A guiding pamphlet is available from the Mudgee Visitors' Centres.

The Henry Lawson Memorial is a landscaped picnic area which centres on the brick fireplace which is all that remains of the Lawson family house, otherwise demolished in 1946. It is 8 km north of Mudgee on the right-hand side of Henry Lawson Drive, between the Mudgee and Montrose wineries. To get there follow the Cassilis Rd past the racecourse and turn left into Henry Lawson Drive (the road to Gulgong via Home Rule). The Memorial is 5 km along this road, to the right.

1 km further north, at the corner of Henry Lawson Drive and Strikes Lane, is the restored Eurunderee Provisional School. The school has an historical display relating to Lawson's attendance and to the general history of the institution. It is open by appointment only. Contact (02) 6373 3981 for more information.

Eurunderee school was erected on the site of the 'Old Bark School' which Lawson's parents helped build in 1876. The older institution was where Lawson's formal education commenced when, at the age of nine, he became a member of the school's first class.

Goulburn River National Park
The Goulburn River National Park is located to the north-east of town. It covers around 70 000 ha of land adjacent the river which wends its way past sandstone cliffs, caves and gorges that contain some 250 Aboriginal sites, reflecting the fact that the area was situated on a major trading route between the coast and the western plains. The park is also a haven for animal, bird and plant life.

Access is via Ringwood Rd which bisects the park, joining Wollar to the Merriwa-Cassilis Rd. There are no camping facilities but plenty of opportunities for bush camping. A sign along the route points you to White Box Camp which is available for vehicle-based camping. Spring Gully is a campsite by the river, although it lies along what is really a 4WD track, suitable only in dry weather. This track departs from the road that runs between Wollar and Ulan.

Also along Ringwood Rd is a sign indicating a gem fossicking area to the left, which is one possibility that the park offers. Bushwalking is another obvious attraction. A number of creeks can be followed westwards from Ringwood Road down to the river. The most easily accessible trail is that to Lees Pinch Lookout. A signpost indicates the starting point of the walk. It is but a short distance to some spectacular elevated views from the escarpment to the eastern section of the park. Swimming, canoeing, liloing, photography and wildlife observation can also be pursued.
