Gundaroo
Historic village untouched by modern developments.
Located on the Yass River 28 km south east of Gunning and 34
km north west of Canberra, Gundaroo is a tiny historic
village which has been totally by-passed by all the major
roads passing through the area.
Europeans came into the area in the early 1820s. They
were immediately impressed by 'the beautiful clear plain
called by the natives Candariro' (which possibly was the
local Aboriginal word for 'blue crane'). The first land
grant, a modest 30 acres, was given by Governor Lachlan
Macquarie to Peter Cooney. He was soon followed by graziers
who saw the plains around the Yass River as being ideal
grazing country. For the next couple of decades the whole
area was known as Gundaroo.

By the 1840s a small village had emerged. In 1848 a post
office was built, the Royal Hotel was completed in the 1860s
and by the 1870s Gundaroo was a stopover for goods
travelling from the railway at Gunning across country to
Queanbeyan. The present general store was built by William
Affleck in 1880. Affleck came to dominate town life and over
the next few decades was largely responsible for the
construction of the Presbyterian church, the bridge over the
Yass River and a number of other public buildings.
