Mudgee NSW
This fully escorted sketching tour to Mudgee explores the beauty of the spectacular autumn colours and the heritage colonial buildings which have been beautifully restored. Mudgee is in the Central West of NSW, and is one of the oldest heritage villages of the Great Dividing Range. Almost all of this region yielded alluvial gold in the last century.
This tour also visits Hill End, where gold was discovered in the 1870’s gold rush. Many original houses still stand and provide excellent sketching opportunities, with a backdrop of undulating hills. From here we explore Sofala which is Australia’s oldest surviving gold town. It is nestled in Turon River Valley. Sofala was immortalised by Sir Russell Drysdale who painted a very distinct building with which he won the Archibald Prize in 1947.
There are so many exceptional and varied sketching opportunities in this tour, it is not to be missed.
