Mudgee is situated in the Central West region of New South Wales, three and a half hours northwest of Sydney, via the Blue Mountains. The picturesque town is a popular holiday getaway known for its rich heritage architecture and vibrant arts scene. The region boasts more than 60 wineries, 35 cellar doors and top vineyard restaurants.
Mudgee tours are a wonderful way to discover all the treasures the region has to offer from gourmet and wine experiences to exploring Wollemi National Park or star gazing at the Mudgee Observatory. Wander the streets lined with beautifully preserved 19th-century buildings or savour local produce at the Mudgee Fine Foods Farmers’ Market.
The Wiadjuri people’s clans - the Mudgee (Mujjee) and Dabee lived around the area now known as Mudgee. The township was surveyed in 1837 with its first land sale the following year. In 1851 the population was 200, but with the discovery of gold in nearby Hargraves, the municipality skyrocketed in one decade to 1500.
Learn more on the Heritage Walking Tour along Mudgee’s tree-lined streets past the carefully restored colonial buildings, including the Mudgee Post Office. Visit the Mudgee Museum which includes a historic church, a 19th-century hotel and the replica of a slab hut, or the Robert Stein Motorcycle Museum at Robert Stein Winery.
Take time to stroll through the Mudgee Arts Precinct with its exciting contemporary exhibitions and explore the Cudgegong River and Lawson Park Sculpture Trail. Just out of town is the Gulong Pioneers Museum which houses one of the finest collections of Australiana in the country.
Mudgee holidays are the best way to immerse yourself in the area. As the third largest grape-producing region in NSW, you can spend days on the wine trail tasting your way through award-winning wines at renowned wineries and cellar doors. Take time to visit the unique Gooree Park which has combined award-winning wines and tender Wagyu with champion thoroughbred racing studs.
Take advantage of Mudgee’s clear skies at The Mudgee Observatory. Just a short drive away from the lights of town the skies come to life through a range of high-powered telescopes giving viewers a fascinating panorama.
World Heritage-listed Wollemi National Park offers a dramatic backdrop for a walk to spot some of the local wildlife. Ganguddy-Dunns Swamp on the Cudgerong River is another popular spot for bushwalking as is Windamere Dam. The Drip Gorge trail runs alongside the Goulburn River to the ‘Great Dripping Wall.’ where rainwater trickles through the sandstone wall.
Many place names in the Mudgee region are derived from the original Wiradjuri language. Mudgee was named by Traditional Custodians, the Wiradjuri clan. Mudgee is translated to mean various things, ‘resting place,’ ‘contented,’ ‘nest in the hills’ and ‘friend or mate.’
‘Nest in the hills’ refers to Mudgee’s location at the foothills of the Cudgegong Valley, surrounded by ancient volcanic hills.
Take a Mudgee road trip through the Hawkesbury and Hunter Valley following the Food Lovers Loop or the scenic Bylong Valley Way through Kandos, Rylstone and Bylong.
There are more than 60 wineries and 35 cellar doors in the Mudgee district. Some are multi-generational family businesses while others specialise in Italian varieties or organic wines.
Grapes were first grown around Mudgee in 1858 reaching a peak in 1893 of 55 vineyards. Plantings started again in 1974. The Mudgee region grows predominantly red wine varieties, especially Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
