01 ABOUT THIS SERIES

Series story

Map · Mapbox · OpenStreetMap

Braidwood Hotel sits at 180 Wallace Street and has run continuously as a country pub since 1859, when it went up during the Gold Rush. Gold was found in the nearby Araluen Valley in 1851-52, thousands of prospectors filled the diggings, and Braidwood became the base town for the surrounding goldfields. The Wallace Street streetscape that survives today is largely the result of that boom. The hotel is built in the Georgian style: high ceilings, oversized fireplaces, a verandah with cast iron lacework. It is a local heritage item under the Queanbeyan-Palerang LEP. The whole town of Braidwood was given permanent conservation protection by the NSW Government in 2006 and is classified by the National Trust as an historic town. The pub has been continuously open for more than 165 years.
