The Dog On The Tuckerbox monument, situated north of the town, recognises the pioneering spirit of the drovers of yesteryear who found this an ideal place to rest their weary bullock teams..

Today Gundagai still holds a fascination for people from all walks of life. 

The rolling hills and fantastic scenic valley are an attraction for artists and photographers. For those who wish to view art rather than create it,

Lanigan Abbey Art Gallery and The Green Dog Gallery offer investment or contemporary art to suite all tastes. 

The Rusconi Marble Masterpiece, on display at the Visitor Information Centre, is a unique creation.  Made entirely of New South Wales marble over a period of 28 years and consisting of 20,948 individually hand crafted pieces, this cathedral in miniature is a must see.

The buildings, bridges and the photographic collection at the Gabriel Gallery offer history buffs an insight into Gundagai’s early life from settlement in 1843, through the great flood of 1852 and the bushranger days of the 1880’s. Although no longer open to traffic across the flood plain, Prince Alfred Bridge, the longest wooden viaduct in the Southern Hemisphere, can be viewed from a platform at the bridges northern end, or from either of the lookouts.  A visit to the Historic Museum should also be on everyone’s list.  You can view such diverse items as a Model T Ford and  Phar Lap’s saddlecloth.

The continental climate of our region makes it an ideal wine area.  Gundagai Wines and Patersons Vineyard welcome visitors.

With accommodation to suit every budget, and a variety of eating venues, Gundagai is an ideal place for an overnight stay or and extended visit.
