The area of Majors Creek was originally occupied by the Walbinga Aboriginal People. Majors Creek is 20 kilometres from Braidwood and was settled by retired military men and their families, farming crops and grazing animals such as sheep and cattle. Convicts were used to help with the labour of the land.
Major William Sandys Elrington was granted 2650 acres upon his retirement from the Army. He was the first Magistrate in the district in 1828.
Gold was discovered in the area in 1851 and the village 'sprung up'. The Major would have liked it to be named Elrington but Majors Creek is what was adopted. However, the hotel which was built 1856 secured his name. It burnt down and a new hotel was built in 1913 and stills stands proudly today.
St Stephens Anglican Church is a lovely specimen of the Churches built in this era. Made with local stone from the area by Peter Rusconi.
Majors Creek holds the Annual Music Festival on the second weekend of November each year.

Perched high in the Southern Tablelands and famous for its rare truffles, Braidwood is one of the prettiest towns in the state. It’s the halfway point between Canberra and the South Coast, so you’ll often find its streets brimming with travellers stopping for a lunch break or to browse the antique stores.
Braidwood is a National Trust-classified town and the first to be listed on the NSW State Heritage register. Its charming colonial buildings, rustic streetscape and rural beauty led to it being the backdrop for iconic Australian films such as Ned Kelly (starring Mick Jagger), The Year My Voice Broke and Flirting.
Gold fever struck this prosperous pastoral area in the 1850s. Visit the nearby goldfields at Jembaicumene, Majors Creek and Araluen to learn more about this fascinating era – and the bushrangers that came with it. The 1890-built Royal Mail Hotel served as a staging point for gold rush coaches and still stands on the main street.
Braidwood is a hub for artists, potters, ironworkers, craftspeople and designers. You’ll find many quirky boutiques and galleries to browse, as well as a very creative events calendar. Visit in November for the Festival of Braidwood and Airing of the Quilts and to hear jazz, blues and folk at the Majors Creek Festival.

The primary reason for visiting Araluen is the sheer beauty of the valley. It is a near-perfect example of a valley in the heart of the Great Dividing Range - a road that tumbles down to a winding stream which is edged by rich and fertile pastures in a valley which is distinctive because the early settlers could not resist the temptation to plant deciduous trees. Araluen was once one of the most famous gold towns in New South Wales. Today it is little more than a few buildings, some historic ruins and a beautiful valley famed for its orchards.
