Towrang

Towrang is a village in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia, in Goulburn Mulwaree Council.

A major stockade for chain-bound convicts and others involved in the construction of the Great South Road was located on the north side of the Hume Highway at Towrang Creek from around 1836 to 1842.

The stockade was the major penal settlement in southern New South Wales and enforced harsh discipline.

Aboriginal stone tools have also been found on the banks of Towrang Creek, indicating that this was a route well-travelled long before Hamilton Hume came this way in 1818.

The Hume highway in this area has been recently upgraded in 2007 and 2006 to improve safety at and in-between the seagull intersections with Towrang and Carrick Roads.
