Gulgong, Australia Tourism

The well-preserved small gold-digging town of Gulgong (pop. 2050) is familiar from its appearance on the A$10 note. Also featured on the note is the well-known poet Henry Lawson, who lived in the area as a child. During the gold fever of 1870 some 20,000 people came to the town to look for gold, but 10 years later they had all gone.
