Discover Eurunderee

Eurunderee offers several specific points of interest for planning a trip: local and literary history connected with Louisa and Henry Lawson, art, fire service history and seasonal cuisine.

Lawson connections: school and remembrance

A blue memorial plaque to Louisa Lawson is located at the Old Eurunderee Post Office. Another connection to her is the Eurunderee Provisional School: Louisa campaigned for the school to be built. Henry Lawson attended it for several years when he was young and returned later in life. During that later visit, he spontaneously wrote a poem in the visitors’ book. The school thus brings together two distinct historical perspectives: Louisa is associated with her efforts to have the school built, while Henry is connected with his own school years and the literary entry he made on his return. The sequence from several years of school attendance to the later poem makes the place interesting for travellers who want to explore biographies and local history together.

Art and fire service history

Rosby Cellar Door & Gallery displays sculptures and hanging artworks by emerging and established artists throughout the year. This represents both a range of art forms and artists at different career stages. The exhibits change over time. If you are visiting specifically for a particular art theme, it is therefore a good idea to check the current exhibition in advance.

The NSW RFS Community Education Centre in Eurunderee displays a wide variety of current and historic firefighting equipment, as well as bush fire tankers. Unlike Rosby Gallery, with its sculptures and hanging artworks, the focus here is on firefighting equipment, both contemporary and historic. This contrast can help you choose according to your interests: fine art or fire service history.

Farm-to-table dining

The Barn at Blue Wren Farm offers a relaxed restaurant experience with simple, seasonal and delicious food. Much of the produce used on the menu is grown at Blue Wren Farm. The farm connection is therefore also reflected in the source of many of the ingredients. When planning where to eat, both the seasonal style of the cuisine and its connection to the farm’s produce are central considerations.

Different timeframes

These attractions also differ in their timeframes. The Lawson connections link the building of the school with Henry’s years as a student and his later return. At the fire service centre, current and historic equipment fall within the same subject area. The gallery displays its artworks throughout the year, but the exhibits change; The Barn’s cuisine is seasonal. If you want to plan your trip around a particular exhibition, check the current display. This will help you decide which themes—local history, changing art exhibitions or seasonal dining—fit into your plans.
