Situated approximately 65km North-West of Parkes, Trundle has a population of 600. Trundle is a rural community, with production consisting mostly of wheat, sheep and cattle farming. An ideal alternative route to get away from the hustle & bustle of the highway and experience the unique Australian bush, fair dinkum Aussie hospitality and the leisurely way of doing things. The Heritage Listed Trundle Hotel was built in 1909 in three stages, over three years. It is two storey's high, and built out of pise mud, then rendered with cement. The Hotel has the longest wooden verandah in Australia. Trundle is also home to the widest main street in NSW, meaning you shouldn't have any problems with angle parking. The showground gets its turn in September when it plays host to the Bush Tucker Day, providing entertainment for the whole family with music, camp food cooking, damper tasting and old Swag stories. August is also a busy time, when the community comes together to host the Annual Show.
