CANDELO HISTORY
Candelo is a town that was developed in the 1860's as part of the large Kameruka Estate farm famous for it's cheese, and the area today is still dotted with dairy farms that supply milk to the iconic Bega Cheese factory.
Candelo has maintained it's beautiful old buildings and a stroll down the main street encourages thoughts of times past when life was slower and people had time to wander and chat. To this day many of the locals enjoy spending time talking with local shop keepers, chatting to friends as they meet on the street, sitting under the majestic trees in the lovely park and taking a moment to enjoy the slower pace this beautiful historic town has to offer.
Candelo has a beautiful park that runs along the creek with majestic 100+ year old trees lining it's banks and scattered throughout the town. The town itself is split by the creek with the main street having the town hall, cafe, petrol station, post office and shops on one side and the pub along with many historic houses on the other, joined by a bridge making it an easy walk from one side to the other.
At the top of the hill from the town hall you will find the charming and historic St Peters Anglican church builtin 1906.
A drive around the area boasts beautiful country views of rolling hills and pastures, many diary cattle grazing away the day, with the not so distant Great Dividing Range as a backdrop.
It's an historic part of Australia, an authentic village that has preserved a way of life fast becoming forgotten, a place that has a true community spirit, a beautiful place to visit and to live.
