A walking tour on May 4 will explore the historical remains of Dubbo Gully when Mangrove Creek was a thriving community with wharves, inns and slab homes.
The event named Secrets of Dubbo Gully is one of the local events in the National Trust 2025 Australian Heritage Festival (NSW).
Walkers will visit hidden sites of a former community wandering through First Fleet lemons and blackberries, former orchards and Fairview homestead and St Thomas Cemetery.
The expert guide will bring to life the histories of settlers from the 1830s and 1840s, explain what happened at the ‘Matchbox’ and ‘Mead Gully’ while tracing the original road from Sydney to the coast across heritage wooden bridges within the extraordinary landscape of gymea lilies, sandstone bluffs and trickling creeks.
Participants should have a moderate level of fitness for the 10km walk mainly along fire trails.
It will be held on Sunday, May 4 from 9am to 4pm.
The meeting point is The Hub of Mangrove Mountain, Waratah Rd, on the corner of Wisemans Ferry Rd.
