Newbridge is often a small tourist village inside the Central West of NSW that welcomes visitors and campers. It is really a great tourist spot to visit with good food available at the Gladstone Hotel, look at the Art Gallery (Olde Bridge Gallery) , see the Craft Shop, or camp in the Showground. Take a ramble from the village with its interesting background and great scenery to educate yourself regarding. Newbridge can be found about 32 km from Bathurst and about 29 km from Trunkey Creek The locality was initially called Back Creek or Reedy Creek, but renamed Newbridge on April 15 1878 when an overhead road traffic bridge was built in the railway line. Newbridge was founded as being a gold mining town, the Post Office opening on 1 February 1856. Newbridge village developed throughout the railway line and station that was built in 1876. Newbridge can be a popular camping and fishing location with campsites available over the river. A point of pride to the town, town have kept the structure beautifully maintained, and Newbridge has won numerous awards for just one of the best presented stations in the state. One of Australia's oldest and largest regional galleries presenting innovative exhibitions alongside a lively and varied suite of public programs and events. If you would like to view a number of the displays in the Camera Group then visit Ye Olde Gallery at the corner of Trunkey and Caloola Street in Newbridge. The Newbridge Winter Solstice is really a day of medieval magic and music. It takes place in the pub (closed for the occasion) and so on the Gladstone Green. The entertainment has was comprised of magic shows, Viking fighting displays in the afternoon (from Iron Fest participants), food stalls, Morris Dancers, many market stalls, two bands (one inside afternoon and another for your night), horse display, street entertainment and also other activities for your younger people. There will probably be drink provided by the Gladstone Hotel (Strong Ale, Draft Guinness and also other merry-making fortifications too!). There will be ample food to accommodate everyone (vegetarians included) from food stalls as well as the Pub. Newbridge art will probably be wearing Medieval Costume to enhance the merriment. The highlight of the morning festivities will be the lighting and burning of the Wickerman for the large bonfire at 5pm. People are inspired to buy small Wickermen earlier, write their problems about the tag and then throw them about the fire to get them burnt away!
