In a beautiful rural setting, near Tumut and just off the Hume Highway, Adelong is a fascinating reminder of the gold-rush past. While its population has dramatically decreased since the gold boom, many of the historic buildings have remained and may be viewed on the Adelong Village Walk. Much of the gold-bearing ore was treated at Reefer's Battery at the spectacular Adelong Falls, where tracks, lookouts and interpretive signs give an understanding of the workings. Perfect for outdoor activities, Adelong is a great base for seeing the region and nearby snowfields.
