Description

Yerranderie Regional Park is popular with history buffs and 4WD adventurers for its mining heritage, forgotten ghost town, bushwalking tracks and old silver mine relics. Step back in time at Yerranderie Regional Park, where an intriguing former mining settlement turned ghost town is nestled within a vast and rugged wilderness landscape. Getting to Yerranderie involves following 76km of dirt road, which only highlights the sense of discovering a land that time forgot. Cradled under stately escarpments and among wildlife-filled forest lies a unique area with a fascinating mining history. This, combined with its rugged wilderness, makes Yerranderie popular with history buffs, heritage enthusiasts, photographers, and intrepid 4WD enthusiasts alike. Yerranderie Private Town is one of NSW’s most authentic, unchanged silver mining ghost towns, having been carefully preserved to retain its historic past. Accessed via 4WD Oberon Colong historic stock route, the buildings, including the post office, tailor shop, general store, bank and residential cottages, have been restored to their original condition as accurately as possible, and the displays are all of genuine relics collected by miners over the decades. This is an excellent opportunity for new club members who have not completed driver training to attend. I have booked out Government Town Campground for the Saturday night. There are 9 sites booked under my name. I will be staying at the Gunning Showground on Friday night with participants to meet there for a 1000 convoy departure from the Showground on Saturday morning. You are most welcome to join us there!
