Dunns Swamp
Gulgong
Nice walking track around the wetlands. Good for bird watching with black swans, ducks and pelicans and occasionally you’ll catch a glimpse of a platypus. Take a picnic lunch.

I went here today for the first time since it opened and although it’s not cheap I’d recommend for some amazing food and amazing beers - they had 18 on tap to try and many more in the fridge for takeaways. My favourite was the three tails Hawaiian pale ale which is local. If getting the feast for 2 it will easily feed four adults for lunch. They have hot dogs for kids but apart from that there’s not a lot for kids to eat.

If you happen to be here when there’s a race meet you should definitely check how horse racing in the country is run. Dress up to the 9’s or wear trackies and a singlet. Country races cater for all! Nice big grassed area for kids to run around and you are welcome to take your own food or you can purchase there. It’s always a good day out!

Taxis
There’s no Uber here and taxis are busy on the weekends and during busy periods so I’d suggest you contact them on 131008 and pre book a time.

Mudgee heritage walking tours
Even as a local this is a must do! Ned who runs these is a wealth of knowledge and you will learn so much about our town.

There’s quite a few tour companies but as you can imagine they are busy! Definitely book well in advance to guarantee a tour!

Lookouts
We have several bush/lookout walks near us. They are quite steep so not for the faint of heart. We have the 3 poles, Telstra tower and mount misery. Ask me if you’re interested and I can give you directions.

If you’re into mountain bikes or bush walking read on...
We have an area behind us called the common. There are several mountain bike tracks and it’s also a good bush walk. Several areas give you some great views over town. The kids and I have had some great times and adventures there!

Ezyride bike hire
I personally haven’t used them but have heard great things! It’s another way to explore the region and they have electric bikes also. Let me know if you’d like contact details or they can be found on Facebook.
