Author: Kandos History

Four things about me. I like reading, writing, researching and living in the country. In particular I like living at Kandos, where we have been for more than a decade. I have deep roots in this part of the country. My mother spent her early life in Kandos. My father was born at Rylstone. My grandparents were pioneers of Kandos and Rylstone. And I was born at Lue - and went to school in Mudgee. The history of this area excites me and I would like to share it with you. Currently I am writing fortnightly blogs.

Beneath a Moving Ropeway at Kandos

May 24, 2019May 23, 2019 Kandos History

There was something magical about the ropeway. A continuous stream of buckets gliding across the landscape, sliding against those imperial towers, over rugged hills, atop deep gullies, above sheep grazing in paddocks or a plough turning the soil.

Fake History

AussieLegend wrote the information and he was quite sure he was right. After all, he gave a trustworthy source - The Companion to Tasmanian History, produced by the University of Tasmania.

Kandos. A Thoroughbred.

Kandos. A name to celebrate a new town, a new industry and hopefully a champion racehorse.
