Gulgong, Gold rush settlement in Central Tablelands, New South Wales, Australia.
The town exhibits preserved 19th-century architecture with over 130 heritage buildings along winding streets shaped by early horse and bullock paths.
Following the discovery of gold at Red Hill in 1870, the population surged from a small settlement to 20,000 residents within three years.
The Henry Lawson Centre honors the Australian writer who lived in Gulgong during his youth and incorporated the region into his literary works.
Visitors can explore the Gulgong Historical Walk, which connects 62 points of interest including the Prince of Wales Opera House and multiple museums.
The UNESCO-listed Holtermann Collection at Gulgong Museum contains photographs documenting daily life during the 1870s gold rush period.
