DESTINATION: Mudgee
Located 264km NW of Sydney, on the Cudgegong River, is the picturesque country town of Mudgee. The scenic landscape has attracted many artists to the region. Main AttractionsMudgee is at the centre of one of the premium wine-growing areas of Australia. The wine industry dates back to the 1850s. The region is credited with introducing the chardonnay grape to Australia. Many of the surrounding wineries, including Poets Corner and Huntington Estate, are open to the public offering tastings and cellar door sales. Other local produce includes fine wool, honey, livestock and gourmet foods. The profusion of flora in the region attracts bees and several honey-processing companies have taken advantage of this, with different kinds of honey produced at various times of the year by skilled beekeepers. Mudgee Honey Haven, cnr Gulgong and Hargraves rds; and Mudgee Honey Company, 28 Robertson St, both offer tastings and sales. There are many National Trust buildings in the town and all can be seen on a self-guided historical town walk. A brochure is available from the tourist office. |
