WYNDHAM
Wyndham is a very small town that will
only be encounted when doing the Eden/ Bombala route. This is a quiet
winding road, whilst picturesque requires concentration. Wyndham
itself, high in the hills is a heritage town with an interesting
history. The name of the pub bears testimony to that assumption.
Established during the
gold rush of the 1860s, Wyndham flourished with the demand for timber
in the first half of this century. The reason for the name of the town
is not readily assessed.
Wyndham General Store (also Post Office, service
station, cafe) ,
Wyndham primary school, Wyndham School of Arts Hall, Uniting Church
Hall, Sports Ground, Stringy bark centre, Robbie Burns Hotel (local
pub), Ultraviolet treated water.
“Wyndham has a stunning
backdrop of Jingera rock, a sheer granite rock face.
Nestling between the escarpment of
Mount Darragh on one side, and under the watchful eye of Jingera Rock
on the other, the surrounding foothills and forests are an
ornithological paradise with a wide diversity of animals and birdlife,
luring horse riding enthusiasts, 4WD adventurers, and bushwalkers.
The markets are held on the fourth
Sunday of every month, in the park or the hall. You're sure to enjoy
this friendly country outing, find a bargain, or hear a good yarn. A
range of locally produced goods, unique craft, plants and vegetables
always are available.” (Source…Sapphire Coast Website)
The Wyndham War Memorial is on the eastern approach to the village. 
The Anglican Church
has ceased business; the United is a new structure,
and the Catholic quite old.
The Robbie Burns Hotel is a must for refreshment.
Unless the traveler is Bombala bound (or has left) Wyndham is a
diversion of significance, but to say you have
had a refreshment at a genuine Robbie
Burns pub may warrant the effort.
