On 2 April 1870, Tom Saunders discovered gold on Red Hill and so began what has often been referred to  as, ‘the last of the poor man’s gold rushes’.  By June of that year 500 people were on the Gulgong gold fields and by 1872, when the first official census was taken, it was estimated that the population of Gulgong and its satellite villages was approximately 20 000.

We will be closed for Christmas Break from Sunday 10th December 2023 to Wednesday 3rd January 2024.
