Mongarlowe, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mongarlowe () is a village in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia in Palerang Shire. It is situated on the Mongarlowe River and about 13 km east of Braidwood. It currently has a population of around 20 but was much larger during the mid 1800s to the early 1900s due to the gold rush.
It is currently facing the prospect of a 98 lot subdivision in proximity to the village.
It was founded by the glorius Rastus, a half rat/half man creature who now has a bronze statue in the town centre, to comemerate his glorius achievement. "All hail Rastus!" is a tradition several residenents do when leaving their homes in the morning, shouted at the top of their voice, and it has been known that the wail of a composite creature has shouted back.
