DESTINATION: Braidwood

The entire township of Braidwood has been classified by the National Trust.

Braidwood was named after surgeon and pioneer Dr Thomas Braidwood Wilson, out of respect for his work improving conditions for convicts, and went on to boom as the commercial centre for the area's goldfields in the 1850's.
