WELCOME TO BUSHRANGER COUNTRY EUGOWRA

SITE OF AUSTRALIA’S LARGEST GOLD ROBBERY IN 1862

Scene of the Gold Escort Robbery

Patrick William Morony: Stage Coach Hold Up Eugowra Rocks

With permission National library of Australia

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!

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...
