Description

The Gooloogong Memorial Park is a unique record of the people whose families have lived for generations in this small country town. It is a pleasant place to have a picnic and spend some time. It contains a history of the local railway from 1922-1978 with an interesting collection of historic photos; a plaque recognising the Wiradjuri people as the original owners of the land; and interesting pieces of war memorabilia from both of the twentieth century world wars. The highlight, however, is the plaques which record, in suitable detail, the history of many of the families who live in the town and the surrounding region. Here is a unique opportunity to see how a small Australian country town was formed and how it evolved.
