Well, we have come to the end of our Explorer Country journey. To leave you, a little reminder of autumn in Mudgee. It was certainly an interesting, and scenic journey.

We (literally) stumbled upon Mudgee Brewing Co. Being a bit of a beer connoisseur, BB was very happy to buy a few bottles to taste. They brew all their beer on site.

Personally, I liked the pale ale best. And the food was pretty good, too.

And now something from the more recent past. This wonderful Art Deco theatre was first opened in 1935 and has seen many a good night out.

The post office is reminiscent of a Grecian temple! Shows the old pastoralists definitely made a few bob.

There are of course, many pubs. This one is a typically country looking pub with the wrought iron railings and tin roof and very Aussie name.

From the outset, Mudgee felt like a large town, particularly compared with the likes of Rylstone. There were more buildings, more people, more traffic… And of course, more churches.

The Catholic church sat on the main roundabout. It’s one of the oldest buildings in Mudgee, built in 1857.

You can see from the parked cars in the distance that this was a busy place, even on a weekday. I like the historic clock in the middle.

The Anglican church stood on the opposite side of the roundabout to the Catholic Church, and is about 15 years older. Didn’t get to look inside, but the stained glass windows seemed nice.
