There are still buildings remaining from Newbridge's early settlement days. These include The Gladstone Hotel from the early 1870s, Newbridge Public School built in 1877, The Convent - 1890, The Police Station from the 1890s, and the Original Bakehouse building which was built in 1884/5. The building was completed in 1909. The railway has always been key to Newbridge but unfortunately it is seldom used these days. However, the residents of Newbridge are proud of their past and their station and continue to up-keep the buildings and the station surrounds.
Before you rush out onto stage 3 of The Road Less Travelled, PLEASE note the following: All roads have been picked to be 2wd suitable, IN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS. Roads/Forests can be closed due to a variety of reasons. If the road/forest is closed, do not drive on/enter it. This is NOT a power trail; this is a touring trail designed to be done at a more relaxed pace over a few days. No need to rush, there are plenty of accommodation options along the way for all budgets from free camping and caravan parks to B&B, hotels or motels in some towns or nearby. Enjoy your journey!
