About Trundle

Situated approximately 65km North-West of Parkes, Trundle has a population of 600.

Trundle is a rural community, with production consisting mostly of wheat, sheep and cattle farming. An ideal alternative route to get away from the hustle & bustle of the highway and experience the unique Australian bush, fair dinkum Aussie hospitality and the leisurely way of doing things.

The Heritage Listed Trundle Hotel was built in 1909 in three stages, over three years. It is two storey's high, and built out of pise mud, then rendered with cement. The Hotel has the longest wooden verandah in Australia. Trundle Hotel Website

Trundle is also home to the widest main street in Australia, meaning you shouldn't have any problems with angle parking.

The showground is home to the Bush Tucker Day, providing entertainment for the whole family with music, camp food cooking, damper tasting and old Swag stories. August is also a busy time, when the community comes together to host the Annual Show.

Accommodation
Accommodation on offer in Trundle consists of either camping at the local showground, or Pub-style accommodation in the Trundle Hotel.

Sports
If it is sport that you enjoy, Trundle is home to a 18 hole golf course with sand greens. The golf club caters for families. There are also tennis courts and playing fields on offer. Berryman Oval has a BBQ area and play equipment. Trundle's town hall is used for many functions throughout the year including the Easter Ball. Summer relief comes from a splash in the 50 metre pool or in the baby pool for tots.

Meals
Trundle Ex-Service & Citizen's Club offers a great meal choice to traveler's and families with its Chinese Restaurant. The alternative to this is to have the publican's whisk you up a luscious counter meal at the Trundle Hotel.

Services
Trundle offers all of the essential services, with a cafe, newsagency, gift shop, butcher, dress shop, post office, library and many more great shops.

If you are looking to get away from it all, The Black Range is a great spot to go bush walking. It offers peace and quiet, bird watching opportunities, and a picnic ground.
