TRUNDLE
Trundle is a small service town
encounted when traveling the hgy between Forbes and Nyngan. Trundle is
a town that is now a struggling community that shorter distances have
hit hard. The future for this small community looks bleak.
  
Trundle Lagoon Post
Office opened on 1 May 1889 and was renamed Trundle in 1892.

The town is noted for its unusually wide main street.
At 60 metres,
it is one of the widest main streets in the country. It needed to be
as wide as this to accommodate turning bullock-trains. The Trundle
Hotel
also claims the second longest hotel balcony in NSW at 94 yards (86
metres)
(the
longest belonging to Cobar.
Trundle is home all of the main congregational church
faiths., The Catholic Church
is large and modern. The Anglican is also modern
but
the United and
Presbyterian
much older
Health services are provided through the Trundle
multi-purpose health centre (formerly the Trundle hospital).
The town also boasts a golf course with sand-oil
greens, a 25 metre swimming pool, tennis courts, horse-racing
facilities and a sporting oval named Berryman Park.
In September, an annual festival called "Bush Tucker
Day" occurs. The town's small population is usually increased 2 to 3
fold. The main event is a cook off, where contestants strive to make
the best tasting bush food. A panel of judges decides the winner. Bush
music is a major part of the day.
The Trundle War Memorial  
is the Memorial Hall and new Garden.
Should the traveler find themselves on this road a
look in is recommended, but is not worth a diversion visit.
