Uralla Museum
A former grain mill and store, the museum presents exhibits about the indigenous Aniwan people, the bushranger Captain Thunderbolt (Fred Ward), the Rocky River gold rush and Australia's first world sporting champion (rowing), Edward 'Ned' Trickett. Also see old farming equipment, old fire engines, and a steam engine.
The walking trail starts in Alma Park, which was established in the 1880s and has bed of bright flowers in the spring, and over 100 trees planted by school children when the park was established. The park has room for caravan and campervan parking, toilets, children's playground, and 2 free gas barbecues. The walking trail starts at the Soldiers Memorial in the park, crosses Thunderbolts Way, and climbs through bushland around Mount Mutton. There is a diversion track to the top of Mount Mutton with views from Uralla Lookout over the district. The trail should take 30-45 min to complete, but wear suitable sturdy footwear as the descent is steep and winding - not wheelchair accessible. Download a map of the trail here.
