Murringo

Murringo is a small village in the southwestern slopes of New South Wales, Australia in Hilltops Council.

Although the area was outside the Nineteen Counties, within which settler colonisation was allowed, it was settled relatively early, with the Marengo Station run taken up in 1827.

The village was surveyed by colonial surveyor James Larmer in 1849, and he seems to have used the name Murringo.

In 1851, Larmer surveyed a road from the new village to Burrangong Station,[7][8] near modern-day Young.

The village became an early centre for flour milling and a resting place for teams.

Murringo was where he first played the game of cricket, and he later remembered his time there as one of the happiest of his life.

[32][33][34] Murringo's appearance is little changed since its heyday, being described as a small but perfectly formed village.
