Taralga was originally recognised as a Town in the 1860's but there had been pioneer activity in the surrounding area since 1824.
This self guided walk takes you past a number of interesting historic buildings that were largely built in the second half of the 19th century and that are, still standing. On the whole though, hey are not open.
A previous reviewer covers a number of these buildings in some detail.
The walk is largely flat.
The only issue we had one morning was that four dogs rushed out from one of the properties along the route and tried to encircle us. They were not growling but neither were their tails wagging. A very disconcerting experience particularly as they followed us for about 100 metres.

This is a DIY self-guided trail that takes you past the historical buildings of the small, rural town of Taralga. There are 38 stops, all within close walking distance of each other and the walk follows an easy, flat trail. The trail takes you down one side of the main street, then back up the other side and then makes a wider loop around Hillas St, Martyn St, Boundary St and turns onto Macarthur St where the Christ the King Church complex is, before returning almost to the starting point.
A surprisingly large number of Taralga’s early stone buildings have been preserved. This is one of Australia’s oldest rural settlements and many of the buildings date from the 1800s. They are largely unchanged over time and have been well-maintained.
Taralga was originally a ‘Macarthur village’, developed for workers on the Macarthur family estate, ‘Richlands’ in the 1820s, not that the Macarthur family got their hands dirty. Convict labour was responsible for all of the land clearance, development and basically of the hard work.
By the 1840s, Taralga was established as a town and by 1863, there were 100 residents and 24 houses.
Free walking maps are available from the museum but it’s often closed so don’t rely on this. We found an online map of the route from the ‘visitupperlachlan’ tourism website.
Even without a map, you can still manage to see quite a bit on your own because most of the sights are located on the main thoroughfare. The first 23 stops are all on the main road, Orchard St. Many have plaques giving the name, dates and past usages of the building.
You can also find a simple map at the front of Goodhew Park. It’s not a very good substitute for the guided map but it still shows a handful of the historical sites.
The main highlights of the trail are:
i) The Taralga Hotel - built in 1876 and still serving today (stop #12)
ii) The Argyle Inn - a continuously trading hotel since 1875 (stop #21)
iii) Christ the King Catholic Church - built between the wars, in 1934, the marble altar was quarried from the Wombeyan Caves (stop #28)
iv) The Poundkeeper’s Cottage - the oldest surviving building in Taralga, it was built in 1843, when Taralga consisted of just 2 houses, an orchard and one wheat field (stop #35).
NOTES:
Unfortunately most of the sites are not open to the public or are only open limited times, eg Christ the King Church is only open for mass, The Argyle Inn only opens Fri-Sunday& the Museum is open Sat 10-2pm only.
GETTING THERE:
Taralga is 238km south-west of Sydney, between Golburn and Bathurst. It takes about 2 1/2 -3 hours drive from Sydney. From Canberra, its more like 1 1/2 hours.
