Yerranderie Ghost Town
Welcome to private town of Yerranderie, a perfect destination for the whole family. Enjoy the excitement of travelling along bush roads, spot the native
animals and glimpse occasional views of the Burragorang Valley.
Formerly a silver mining town, now cut off by the waters of Warragamba Dam, it has become a wildlife sanctuary. Yerranderie consists of a handful of
buildings which give a modest impression of the thriving mining town, which once stood there. Buildings which remain include a general store, co-operative
which is now a museum, the tailors shop now a crafts centre and the old post office now used to provide ski lodge style accommodation to visitors.
Camp or stay in our accommodation, then spend days exploring the area. We are surrounded by the Blue Mountains National Park World Heritage Area
and our old Silver mines. Try bushwalking, fossicking, photography or just enjoy the peace with the kangaroos and other locals. Inspect the town on an
informative tour or use our brochures to self guide yourself.
