Burraga, NSW

47 kilometres southwest of Oberon is Burraga, a small community set in a rural landscape of sheep and cattle properties and pine forests.

In the late 1870s, when a large copper mine operated, Burraga was a bustling community of over 5000 people.

Today it is a gathering of houses with an operating sawmill and a Recreational Club.

For visitors, the old copper mine is a fascinating look into the past. Also worth a visit is the picnic area at the Burraga Dam.
