Mudgee

Few cities in New South Wales have a history as closely tied to the pastoral settlement of the Cudgegong Valley as Mudgee. Set on the Cudgegong River, the town lies amid broad inland valleys and low ranges west of the Great Dividing Range. Mudgee stands on Wiradjuri Country, and its name is commonly linked to a Wiradjuri expression meaning “nest in the hills.” Gold discoveries at nearby Hargraves in 1851 reshaped the district, while agriculture remains central to local life. Vineyards, cellar doors and regional produce have made Mudgee a recognised wine-and-food destination, complemented by numerous nineteenth-century civic and commercial buildings.
