Eudunda, 5374

pixel
Explore the charming township of Eudunda, a place brimming with history, creativity, and heart. Proudly known as the birthplace of Colin Thiele, one of Australia’s most beloved and versatile authors,

At the heart of Eudunda’s identity is Uncle Gustav, a character from Thiele’s Uncle Gustav’s Ghosts. Adopted as the town’s logo, Uncle Gustav and his faithful dog symbolize the pioneering spirit that shaped this region. Pay homage to these resilient early settlers at the Family Heritage Gallery on Bruce Street, where their stories come to life. Open Friday to Sunday, 10 am to 2 pm, the gallery is a treasure trove of local history and pride.

Don’t miss the stunning Eudunda Silo Art, a captivating 30-metre-tall masterpiece by artist Sam Brooks. Titled Eudunda: The Storytime Silos, the artwork brings Colin Thiele’s The Sun on the Stubble to vivid life, capturing the joy, wonder, and cultural richness of the area. Created in collaboration with Ngadjuri Elder Quentin Aeguis, the silos weave together stories of past and present, celebrating the customs, people, and heritage of this beautiful region. Convenient off-street parking on Railway Parade ensures easy access, with just a short stroll to the silos.

For those looking to extend their stay, the Eudunda Caravan Park offers a welcoming retreat. With eight powered sites for caravans, RVs, and tents, as well as a spacious free camping area, it’s perfect for travelers of all kinds. Whether you’re exploring in a car, bus, or truck, you’ll find a comfortable spot to rest and recharge.

There are numerous dining options, and they have a very welcoming hotel.

Glenelg is a major attraction for young people and families. There are a number of eateries and hotels, and for the kids there is a water play area for when the temperature rises.

Glenelg draws families to its long, sandy beach and the Beachouse amusement centre, with waterslides, rides and arcade games. The Bay Discovery Centre in the 1870s Town Hall has local history exhibits including a vintage swimwear collection, and dolphin-spotting cruises cast off from nearby Holdfast Marina. Laid-back pubs, organic cafes, global eateries and indie boutiques give the area a trendy vibe.

The small town of Helensburgh in New South Wales is known as the gateway between the cities of Sydney and Wollongong, as it is located roughly halfway between the two (45km south of Sydney s CBD and 34km north of Wollongong). The town is on the Woronora Plateau. It is separated from Otford to the south by a high hill and Otford Road. It is separated from Waterfall by tight twists of railway descending from the South Coast Line's highest point at Waterfall to Helensburgh Station.

Helensburgh is the northern-most suburb governed by Wollongong City Council, and marks the northern end of the Illawarra region, though in recent years the urban sprawl of Sydney has almost reached Helensburg. It also borders the southern end of the Royal National Park and the western side of the Garawarra State Conservation Area, which adds to the town's isolation from its neighbours. Many travellers drive straight past Helensburgh on the Southern Freeway or Princes Highway without ever even knowing the town is there.

Helensburgh is surrounded by the bushland of the Royal National Park, the Garawarra State Conservation Area and the water catchment of the Woronora Dam and adjacent Heathcote National Park, so is environmentally sensitive, though picturesque and naturally bound. This bushland location also makes Helensburgh susceptible to damage from frequent summer bushfires. The drysclerophyll bush is home to several walking tracks and lyrebirds are not uncommon nearby. From Helensburgh you can access lookouts over Kelly's Falls, a waterfall that marks the top of the Hacking River and serves as a great backdrop for a picnic or bush walk.

Helensburgh Country Fair is an annual community event, usually held on the last Saturday in October at Charles Harper Park, Helensburgh.
