Clustered about the crossing of Mandagery Creek by the road from Orange to Forbes and named after “Eugowra Station”, which was broken up in the 1860’s, today’s village of Eugowra is a haven of peace and tranquility.
At Escort Rock near Eugowra Frank Gardiner and his gang of bushrangers including Ben Hall ambushed and robbed the gold escort coach on its way from Forbes to Bathurst in New South Wales.
Eugowra’s Wild rocky hills that so successfully hid those bushrangers of the past now attract a new kind of bushranger to Nangar National Park and local orienteering events.
If you’re related to bushrangers, don’t be shy – we’d love to meet you! Stop over or hold up in comfy accommodation including hotel, bed & breakfast, farmstay or country retreat.
If you’re interested in history, pioneers, old buildings, great shopping, fresh country air, beautiful vistas, meeting the local wildlife and the friendly hospitality of an Australian bush town . . .
