Bring the family along to enjoy a game, and while you're here make sure you visit the Mudgee Water Park, one of the many family activities on offer. During your visit call into Gulgong and step back into time to the site of gold discovery in NSW or let your children's imagination run wild at the Gulgong Adventure Playground. Head to Rylstone for a scenic drive or bushwalk and have a bite to eat and one of the quaint restaurants. From there it's only a short drive to Kandos, a town with an eclectic history and the gateway to the Wonderland of the Wollemi National Park.

There are many reasons to visit and many major events to delight including councils extremely popular Flavours of Mudgee Street Festival in September.
