Bredbo Information
Bredbo is a quaint rural village located in the Monaro the heart of Merino Country. Bredbo has retained its old world charm and the true nature of Australian rural life. The village began to support squatters' runs established as Bredbow and Bridbot between 1848 to 1850. The Bredbo area prospered and was proclaimed a village in 1888. Bredbo became a bustling village with several shops servicing local residents and graziers.
Bredbo boasts a number of historic buildings one of which is the Bredbo Inn. This was the original stagecoach stop on the way to the South Coast or Snowy Mountains and later as a stop for railway travellers. You can take a stroll for just a few minutes down to the Bredbo and Murrumbidgee Rivers where you'll find some perfect spots for fishing or picnicking.
Gold was discovered in the area in the late 1800's and a field was proclaimed along the Bredbo River which was worked until 1921. In the 1930's a geological survey was undertaken and a mine opened and operated until 1942.
Today there are several lovely shops in the small township. The Bredbo Cottage boasts the finest selection of imported Christmas decorations. The Bredbo Pizzeria whose wood fired pizzas is unequalled for taste and flavour which can be enjoyed overlooking Setting Estate vineyards. The Bredbo Pancake Parlour once the General Store has tasty crepes, pancakes and hotcakes.
