Gilgunnia

Gilgunnia, located in New South Wales' Orana region, is a historic ghost town that once thrived during the gold mining era. Established in the late 19th century, it featured a bustling community with multiple hotels, stores, and a public school. The town's prosperity was short-lived, and by the mid-20th century, it had faded into obscurity. Today, visitors can explore remnants of its past, including the Battery Tank and the old cemetery, offering a glimpse into its rich history. A commemorative plaque at a nearby rest area honors the pioneers who once called Gilgunnia home.
