Binalong

Take a step back in time and enjoy the beautiful and charming little village of Binalong

Binalong is home to some wonderful examples of colonial architecture, overflowing with history., with an old general store, beautiful bank and classic country hotel. Binalong evokes memories of a placid setting, once beyond the limits of civilisation of the early colonies. Think of a time when a young Banjo Paterson attended the local school with the children of small time bushrangers and days when the peace was shattered by bullets bouncing from trees and rocks, as notorious outlaw Johnny Gilbert lost his final gunfight. Johnny came to rest in a lonely grave just outside town.

However, Binalong still has all the services one would expect in a flourishing country town, with several doctor’s surgerys available in nearby Yass, and a range of child care and schooling options in the local area. These include the Child Care Centres of Goodstart Early Learning, Yass Little Learners, Yass Early Childhood Centre Association, and Yass Montessori Preschool; Bowning Public School, Binalong Public School, Yass-Berindaba Public School, Mt Carmel School, Yass Public School; and for older students Yass High School and Yass TAFE (Illawarra Tafe).

With medium house prices of $216,000 and the city of Canberra only an hour away, Binalong is the ideal place for newcomers looking to enter the housing market in a peaceful rural setting.
