Here’s a more detailed look:
The first settlers arrived around 1859 and among the earliest of settlers there was John and Elizabeth McGrath, presumably giving their name to McGraths Road now leading into Burrawang. In 1865 the first post office was established at Burrawang, which was named after the native palm once plentiful in the area.
This was followed by the first pub licensed in 1866, believed to have been located in the two residences immediately west of the current pub.
Shortly thereafter came the first school, originally an Anglican establishment, which in 1876 was replaced by the first public school at the ‘Old School House’ (now a private residence).
In what is now Church Street the three churches were established around this time; Catholic 1875, Anglican 1886 and Presbyterian in 1888 (now a residential dwelling).
Burrawang is known for its close-knit community where residents support each other. It is surrounded by picturesque countryside and historic buildings and offers a peaceful and secluded environment.
The village retains its historic character with well-preserved buildings and a sense of old-world charm. It has a general store, a cafe, and a pub, providing basic necessities and social gathering spots.
The village is also a popular tourist destination, especially on weekends. The focal point is the Burrawang Village Hotel (established in 1927), its scenery, and historic charm. Burrawang and its immediate surrounds, including nearby Wildes Meadow, also feature a growing number of B&Bs.
