History
editWiradjuri people
editThe Mudgee and Dabee clans of theWiradjuripeople lived at and around the site of what is now the town of Mudgee on theCudgegong River.Some cultural and tool-making sites of these Aboriginal people remain, including the Hands on the Rocks, The Drip and Babyfoot Cave sites.[3][4]
Significance of local names
editMany place-names in the region are derived from the originalWiradjuri language,including Mudgee itself, which was named by the Wiradjuri clan who lived there. There are various translations as to what Mudgee means including "resting place", "contented", "nest in the hills" as well as "friend or mate" which the latter coincides with the Wiradjuri word "mudyi".[5][6][7]The correct pronunciation has also been recorded as eitherMoudgee,MoothiorMougee.[8][9][10]Nearby places includeLue(Loowee, 'a chain of waterholes');Gulgong('a gully'); Wollar ('a rock water hole'); Menah ('flat country'); Eurunderee ('a local tree'); Guntawang ('a peaceful place'), Cooyal ('dry country'); Wilbertree ('a long switch'); Gooree ('native chasing live animal'); Burrendong ('darker than usual'). The Aboriginal name of theRylstonearea was Combamolang.
Early British colonisation (1821 to 1850)
editJames Blackman, leading a small expedition in the latter half of 1821, was the first British colonist to enter the Mudgee district.[11]Not long after, LieutenantWilliam Lawsonwho was then commandant ofBathurst,made several further expeditions to Mudgee. Both Blackman and Lawson found the site to be an Aboriginal settlement orbimmelinhabited by around 100 people who called the areaMudgeeorMujjee.[3][12]
In February 1822, George and Henry Cox, sons ofWilliam Cox,followed the trails set up by Blackman and Lawson with 500 head of livestock, and established a grazing property atMenah,3 km (1.9 mi) north of the current town. The Coxes were soon in conflict with the Mudgee clan who drove away their workers and livestock. George Cox gathered some men at Bathurst and returned to Menah where a two hour fight later ensued, resulting in six Mudgee people being killed and one of Cox's employees being speared to death.[3]
The violence in the region worsened in June 1824, when Theophilus Chamberlain, who was the Coxes' superintendent of their Mudgee property holdings, led a number of punitive expeditions against the local Aboriginal people. A skirmish at Guntawang to the north of Mudgee resulted in some settlers being killed, with around 70 or more Aboriginal people dying in follow up raids.Martial lawwas declared by GovernorThomas Brisbanein August 1824, leading to further killings of the Wiradjuri people in the Mudgee area. Descendants and workers of the Coxes later described this period as one where "an immense number of natives, men, women and children were slaughtered" and "the bodies of the blacks were piled together and burnt...like old tar barrels". The violence forced the Coxes to abandon Guntawang, and relieving Chamberlain of his duties, they shifted their enterprise to nearby Dabee.[13][14][15][3]
The Cox family remained prominent landholders around Mudgee for many decades, owning the Dabee, Menah and Burrundulla properties. William Lawson and his descendants also continued to be leading pastoralists in the region, holding estates such asPutta Buccaand Havilah.[16]
The site of the Mudgee township was surveyed in 1837 and the first land sales occurred in August 1838. It has been incorrectly claimed thatRobert Hoddledesigned the village. Although Hoddle was the first surveyor in the region, marking out the boundaries of Putta Bucca and Bombira, by the time the village was gazetted, he had already left the district to become leader of the Port Phillip Survey.[17]John Blackman built a slab hut, the first dwelling in Mudgee and its general store.[18]
By 1841 there were 36 dwellings, three hotels, a hospital, a post office, two stores and an Anglican church. St John's Church of England was consecrated on 6 May 1841.[19]The police station moved from Menah in the mid-1840s and an Anglican school was established in that decade.
1850 to present
editIn 1851 the population of Mudgee was 200. This skyrocketed with the discovery of gold byEdward Hargravesin nearbyHargraves,leading to agold rush.While no gold was found in Mudgee itself, the town is central to the goldfields ofGulgong,Hill EndandWindeyer,and grew rapidly as a result.
Mudgee was declared as a municipality in 1860 making it the second oldest municipality west of theGreat Dividing Rangewith a population of 1500 in 1861. A public school was built in the 1850s together with the present Anglican, Catholic Methodist and Presbyterian churches. A new police station, courthouse,Mechanics' Instituteand a town hall were built in the 1860s. There were four coach factories operating in Mudgee to cater for the demand of the nearby goldfields. TheNational Trust of Australiahas a number of these buildings registered including the Mudgee Museum (formerly the Colonial Inn),[20]the Catholic presbytery, the court house, the police station and the Anglican Church. On 1 June 1861 theElectric Telegraphsystem arrived and was opened for messages to be transmitted and received at the Telegraph office.[21]
One gold miner attracted to the Mudgee district was Niels Peter Larsen, who married Louisa Albury in Mudgee in 1866. They were the parents of leading Australian poetHenry Lawson,born inGrenfellin 1867, and changed their names to Peter andLouisa Lawson.By the birth of their third child, they moved to a selection at Pipeclay (nowEurunderee) 8 km (5 mi) north of Mudgee. The site is now a rest stop with a plaque.
Louisa Lawson's vigorous lobbying led to the establishment of theslab-and-barkEurunderee Public School in 1876 with Henry Lawson first attending aged nine. He would later write about the school in his poem,The Old Bark School.Lawson later attendedSt. Matthews Central School, Mudgeebefore progressively worsening deafness led to him leaving school at 14. He lived in the region until age 15 and many of his stories were written about the district.
Tiny diamonds were sometimes found and discarded bygold pannerswhen "washing off", but sometime before June 1869 a larger specimen was found on the banks of theCudgegong Riverabout 40 km (25 mi) from Mudgee and appraised by the jeweller George Crisp, of Queen Street, Melbourne, at 22.2 carat.[22]Dubbed the "Mudgee diamond", it was the largest found to that date in Australia,[23]however commercial quantities were not found[24]and companies founded to exploit the discoveries were wound up a few years later.[25]
As the gold petered out in the latter half of the 19th century, Mudgee was sustained by both its wool industry and a nascent wine industry founded by a German immigrant, Adam Roth, in the 1850s. The opening of therailway extensionfromRylstoneto Mudgee occurred on 10 September 1884.[26][27]
The railway boosted the town's agriculture. The extension between Rylstone and Mudgee closed on 2 March 1992.[27]This same section re-opened eight years later, on 2 September 2000[27]and closed again in 2007. The Wallaby Track Drive Tour visits various sites associated with Lawson including the old Eurundee Public School, the Henry Lawson memorial, the Budgee Budgee Inn, Sapling Gully, Golden Gully and the Albury Pub which was owned by Lawson's grandfather.
In 1890 a local newspaper was founded with the title theMudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative.[28]Its title changed in 1963 to theMudgee Guardian and Gulgong Advertiserand is currently published twice a week.
Mudgee'sGlen Willow Regional Sports Stadiumhosted the 2012City vs Country Originrugby league match with an attendance of 8,621, and the 2017 match with an attendance of 8,322.[29]TheSt. George Dragonsregularly host home matches there.[30]
Additionally, in theA-League,theWestern SydneybasedWestern Sydney Wanderershave chosen to take their Community Round match to Mudgee's Glen Willow Regional Sports Stadium, as part of their new Regional Strategy,[31]
In 2014, the local council found itself involved in a statewidecorruptioninvestigation when officers of theIndependent Commission Against Corruption (New South Wales)raided the local council's offices.[32][33]
Economy
editMudgee has developed as awineproducing region, it has manufacturing and repair industries. It is also heavily dependent on several major mines in the surrounding area[34]and fly-in fly-out (FIFO) miners who live in the town but work elsewhere.
Other rural produce includescattle,sheep,wheat,alfalfa,olives,fruit,tomatoes,sweetcorn,honey,alpacas anddairy products.These, however, do not play as large a role as mining.
The Ulan coal mines are in the district and it also producesmarble,pottery clays,shaleanddolomite.These mines have further potential to expand in the region, however they attract environmental protests.[35]
Tourism is also a growing industry based mostly on the wineries and, as of 2020, escaping the restrictive life in Sydney. Property prices have surged due to the local airport and the fact that it's only a one hour flight to Sydney.
A laboratory was established in 1987 to test meat for pesticide residues.
Local real estate, petrol and living costs skyrocketed since 2010 when theminingboom began to peak.[36]This has rolled onto the local population, who have since had increased difficulty in living in the town.[37][38]
A new hospital was completed in 2020.
