I thought it would be good to give you the low-down on the average facts and figures (including cost) of visiting Mudgee. Though small, the town is economically strong with the balance of both tourism and mining enterprises. Though some may see these two industries as conflicting they actually compliment with the steady and strong income of the mines keeping the local economy healthy, and the tourism and hospitality sector ensuring the town stays attractive to the eye. Both industries also provide great employment opportunities and ensure business’s are well supported. This is a fantastic feature as many country towns cannot simply survive on the tourist trade alone, with many other towns suffering from poor commercial trade on a local level.
Mudgee is not cheap, I think it is best to say that. The place is targeted in services, products and accomodation for ‘...medium to high income earners..’ according to Mudgee Regional Tourist Officer Lucy White though there are still some cheaper alternatives available.
