Adelong
Overview
Nestled on the banks of the Adelong Creek, this is the heritage gateway to the Snowy Mountains. Its veranda-lined main street, classified by the National Trust (NSW), has buildings dating back to the gold rush era of the 1800’s.
The nearby heritage listed industrial site of Adelong Falls Gold Mill Ruins boasts a remarkable collection of stone ruins, the remains of the Reefer quartz crushing mill, and an impressive lookout and picnic area. The Adelong Falls Walk is a beautiful and peaceful walk along Adelong Creek, linking the town to the falls. It provides an easy walk for locals and visitors alike, and is suitable for strollers.
With origins steeped in pioneer history and gold, and the preserved ruins of the gold mill open to exploration, the town makes for a wonderful base to explore the region’s nearby wineries, lakes, rivers, mountains, caves, forests and snowfields.
