Adelong NSW NSW Country
Just look for the big wine bottle out the front!
A town that boomed in the gold rush, Adelong boasts a tranquil rural charm, set on the banks of the Adelong River. It’s still a good spot for the hobby gold panner to try their luck!
The town is littered with reminders of its gold digging past. Check out the ruins of Richie’s Gold Battery, a well preserved quartz crushing and gold saving installation which once ranked foremost of any in Australia.
