Car Rental Mittagong
- Cheap Discount Car Hire - Special Deals and Offers
Once known as New Sheffield because of the influx of skilled workers
imported from the English Midlands to work in Australia's first pig-iron
smelter which opened in the town in 1841, Mittagong stands 110km
south of Sydney at the gateway to the NSW Southern Highlands.
Heavy industry has long since gone, but the link is reflected in some fine old
sandstone buildings which were constructed during the development spurred by
the smelter operation. The scenic picnic spots skirting the waterfowl sanctuary
of Lake Alexandra - built to supply water for the engines which hauled coal to
the smelter - are spin-offs from the pig iron age.
Mittagong becomes a magnet for flower-fanciers in February when the town stages
its annual Dahlia Festival. Mittagong boasts a number of high class art galleries,
antique and craft stores, live entertainment in two hotels and a reasonable range
of cafes and restaurants. Winifred West Park is a riot of massed flower displays
in spring and autumn and a number of private gardens are open to the public.
