Our time in Gulgong, New South Wales, has been a delightful immersion into a town that clearly cherishes its heritage. The well-preserved streetscapes speak volumes about its pioneering past. The area surrounding Gulgong is beautiful.
Lisa, always one to seek out local treasures, made sure we experienced the Gulgong markets. It's a fairly typical market scene, a vibrant tapestry of community spirit and local produce. Strolling through the stalls, it’s clear that this event is more than just a commercial affair; it is a social gathering.

Later, we found a vantage point that offered a panoramic view of the town and surrounding landscape. From up here, Gulgong unfolds like a carefully constructed model, nestled among the trees and rolling hills.
