The charming and historic village of Binalong was the childhood home of Banjo Paterson, one of Australia's favourite poets. Visit his father's grave in the local cemetery and that of Gentleman Johnny Gilbert, a member of bushranger Ben Hall's infamous gang, buried on the Harden side of Binalong. Once a stopover for Cobb and Co coaching company, and used for gold shipments, Binalong is steeped in history and the romance of the Gold Rush.
