BULGANDRAMINE MISSION

Bulgandramine Mission was a 44 acre reserve on the banks of the Bogan River in between the towns of Tomingley and Peak Hill, New South Wales, Australia. It was reserved for the Wiradjuri people (the original people living in the area for over 100,000 years) and was a segregated community from neighbouring settlements. Many people that lived here worked hard on neighbouring properties or worked for the many managers that were hired by the state to dictate how the mission should run. Operating officially between the years of 1907 and 1941 before the land was sold off to farmers and the people living there were forced to move away. It still holds significance to the descendants of the people who lived there as there is a cemetery where many people from elders to children were laid to rest during the time it operated as a mission. The descendants of some of the families that once lived there now legally own the property again since the year 2000, although no people permanently live there anymore.
