JUGIONG Jugiong is one of the more recent towns that are now by-passed by the Hume Freeway. The removal of significant traffic volumes has seen a decline in economic activity. But pleasingly most business continues to trade. Jugiong is a town on the valley floor where the Murrumbidgee River passes through. There was always a feeling in times past that Tom Roberts may have derived some of his painting ideas from the vista above Jugiong. The Catholic Church in Jugiong is over 100 years old. The Anglican likewise is a century old and classic design building. The Jugiong Hotel often features on calendars. The stables at the rear still remain, but now showing disrepair. The Jugiong War Memorial is located within the Memorial Park. Time your travel for refreshment at the historic pub and be sure to check out the interior of that Catholic Church.
