Adelong

Been here before. Love this area, very picturesque.

The Snowy Mountains Hwy meanders through the hills and valleys east and a bit south from the Hume Hwy to Adelong and Tumut and eventually on to Cooma in the high country. Adelong was originally a gold mining town but given over to merino sheep and cattle grazing when the gold ran out. But there's talk a company could be reviving the mining again soon.


The Golden Gully CP has just a few cabins and about 6 powered sites overlooking the Adelong Creek. The pedestrian swing bridge gives easy access to the supermarket, pubs and club. And there is a really good hairdresser in town at Serenity Hair.

Just a bit out of town, downstream along the Adelong Creek are the ruins of the Gold Workings of the late 1800s. To view my other blog detailing the walk to the ruins go to walkrideoz.blogspot.com.au or click here.

Laying in bed getting ready for sleep listening to the noise of the crickets and the bubbling off the creek I'm sure it will induce a deep sleep tonight.

Royal Hotel lovely building

The best hairdresser in town.

Interesting past.
