"Its nice but extremely rude people"
Moved here at the start of the year and love it I mean lovely restaurants as I am a foodie and gorgeous cafes with yummo coffee. Gym is good, plenty to do on weekends as we have family and adore the country atmosphere but the people here come accross rude and dont want a bar of you unless you are a local oh and dont forget if u have kids its pricey the town and as for the whole vibe I do like it just wish people weren't so rude to me where I am. Mudgee overall a great place maybe its because I'm a typical miners wife with a family and when yoU mention mine to people they get upset well hate to say it but if it wasn't for the mines I can say Mudgee would be a ghost town with not nice parks etc and the nicer things,,,,
That gets it said, what about the crap miners leave behind? Dont take it personally, my dad was a miner.
LidiM - The parks in Mudgee (and Mudgee itself) were established way before the mines. The mines having nothing to do with the two beautiful parks in Mudgee. In my view, the mines have change Mudgee for the worse. Not unlike many aspects of mining.
yes if the people would be more friendly and less arrogant mudgee would be a great place to live. I didn't get any employment due company's not giving me a chance to prove myself. Wouldn't waste my time living in Mudgee unless I know people
Hello. My Grandparents were born in Mudgee in the late 1800s. Sheridan is the family name. Thomas Sheridan/ Mary Jane Lonsdale was my Great Grandparents. Is there any family information Center in Mudgee for me to do some research ? Records, Death Certificates, Birth Records. I hope to visit Mudgee soon. Any help would be appreciated.

Firstly I have to acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the land we speak of; to Elders past, present, and the future; the Mowgee Clan of the Wiradjuri Nation.
Beautiful parks were established long before the mine opened or their employees were even born. But by all means feel free to take credit for them. Mudgees history didnt begin with the opening of the first mine. It wont end at the closing of the last.
Maybe peoples unfriendliness is based on presumptions like these rather than what your husband does for a job? It may be perceived as arrogance?
Many were here long before the mines opened and will remain here after they close. But you claim that life will not exist here without people like you and your husband? Just a suggestion, go and pay attention to those parks you take credit for, the dates on the entrance ways and also on the trees that predate European invasion. Look closely at the headstones and memorials around those parks.
Then for a clearer picture of why some actually arent supportive of mining (besides the environmental issues) speak to the endless amount of people whos generational family homes were taken apart and dug up by mines. Without a choice. Or the families who now have been told that the resting place of their loved ones will also be dug up for mining. None of those locals give a hoot about how good the coffee is at a local cafe. When you have a company kick you out of your family home without question and then tell you grandmas remains will be disturbed and relocated cause theres a dollar to be made out of it you may have a better understanding of how you may be received by many.
But thank you for the beautiful parks!
