The Two bridges tell a tale of history.



This is the oldest building in Gundagi.

The flower mill survived the flood, even though half of it was submerged.

Frank Rusconi’s marble masterpiece.


He took 28 years in his spare time to build this 1.5 mtr creation.

Now that’s what you would call a street sign, 6mtrs Tall


Just down the road to the Tucka Station


Yep. It’s the Dog on a Tuckerbox.


In case you can’t read it;

As I was coming down Conroys Gap
I heard a maiden cry
“There goes Bill the Bullocky
He’s bound for GUNDAGAI.
A better poor old ………
Never drug a whip through dust”
His team got bogged at the five mile creek
Bill lashed and swore and cried
“If Nobby don’t get me out of this
I’ll tattoo his …..hide”
But Nobby strained and broke the yoke
And poked out the leader’s eye
Then the dog sat on the Tucker Box
Five miles from Gundagi.

Ricky Ponting statue stars in a new display in the town.
