Gulgong Group Tours

Escape to Magical Gulgong on your coach tour or group tour.

Steeped in history and with many things to do, the Gulgong Region is the perfect destination for your next Group Tour.

Gulgong is a name derived from its’ traditional people, the Wiradjuri, meaning “deep waterhole”. Gulgong today, is a very friendly and charming town, set amongst rolling hills and agricultural fields. In many ways with the historic buildings dating back to the 1870s and its’ narrow streets, it seems like time has stood still! But it hasn’t, as inside some of the historic buildings the locals are busy utilizing the internet, connecting their corner of the world through the World Wide Web.

Gulgong is well known for its “Gold Rush” Days . Tom Saunders found significant traces of gold at Red Hill; this hill is just above the Gulgong Motel. Local lore has it that the motel is built over a defunct gold mine. Of course that can be said for most of Gulgong! The Gulgong find has been called the last of the small man’s gold rushes, as the gold was close enough to the surface to be mined without heavy machinery. In many people’s eyes the town and its historic buildings are a gold mine of living history!

It is most definitely a town where history lives, as the locals are busy enjoying their modern lives while celebrating their past.

You may not know that today it is a potter’s paradise, boasting some of the finest clays in this country let alone the world. Local artist, Chester Nealie, has made some wonderful clay tile inserts which are now part of the main (“Mayne”) street pavements. These tiles depict the signs that “old swaggies” used to find directions in the bush. Not to be missed is this “symbol trail”. There are sixteen symbols at various points in the pavements on either side of Mayne Street. This is another link between the Gulgong’s past and its’ present.

The town is also a photographer’s paradise with the picturesque scenery and historic buildings. Finding out all about Gulgong's history is an adventure all in itself! Come and see it for yourself.
