Marulan - NSW

Marulan is located 167 km south-west of Sydney via the Hume Freeway.Marulan is a town most commonly bypassed by vehicles rushing between Sydney and either Canberra or Melbourne. It has been bypassed since 1985 and only in recent years has it started to be revitalised with the arrival of people looking for a quiet life in the country or eager to open coffee shops and cafes. Perhaps the most interesting quality about the town is that, although it seems like a small, rather inconsequential, place it is actually a village with a very strong community spirit.Marulan was originally known as Mooroowoolen. It is assumed that Mooroowoolen was a local word of Gundungurra Aboriginal origin.
