Overview
With our plans cancelled due to covid, we decided that we would take off for a 4-night road trip to Mudgee and our first stop was Hill end and WOW, what a way to start our trip.
Hill End a lovely once bustling gold town (1871-1874), there is so much history and thanks to some amazing photography done by a guy named Merlin using wet plate method, you get a real glimpse into Hill End during the boom times. Through the centre of town, the buildings may not remain, but thanks to Merlins talents we get a good idea of the vibe of this hardcore hope-filled town.
Holtermann was a rich german gentleman who fiance much of the town, paid for the services of Merlin and is attributed to finding the famous Holtermann Nugget - the largest single piece of reef gold ever discovered in the world was found by workers of the Star of Hope Mining Company at Hill End.
We enjoyed walking the streets and learning even if we had to get our imaginations going. Hill End is under the care and management of National Parks in NSW and it is really easy to wander around.
We also dropped into the History Hill Museum and Mine on our way in, this was a good experience with lots of artifacts and a 170-metre replica mine shaft to walk through. Please note they only take cash.
Our last spot to visit was Merlins lookout, close to this spot Merlin capture a great photo of the mine from across the valley.
If you venture out to the area (an easy drive from either Mudgee or Bathurst), do yourself a favour and visit Hill End. Hill End is around 3.5 hours from Sydney.
Travel Brilliantly,
Kerryn
