About Binalong
Binalong is a village in the Southern Tablelands of
New South Wales, Australia, 37 km north-west of
Yass in Yass Valley Shire. At the 2011
census, Binalong and the surrounding area had a
population of 465.
Binalong is more a sleepy rural village than a
town. It is rare in Australian terms having a village
square which is edged by a General Store (once a
bank), a pub and a number of small timber
buildings. The main appeal of the Binalong town
lies in its connection with AB 'Banjo' Paterson who
went to Primary School in the village and the well-
preserved grave of bushranger, Johnny Gilbert,
which is located just out of town.
