NSW's only heritage-listed town is 'at a turning point'

Braidwood, the only town on the NSW State Heritage Registry, faces a pivotal moment as it seeks to restore its historic charm and attract visitors.

Braidwood, a town in New South Wales, Australia, has been a significant part of the state's heritage for over two decades as the only site included on the State Heritage Registry. It is rich in history, having been frequented by notable figures such as bushrangers, movie stars like Mick Jagger, and a diverse community of migrants. This historical significance is highlighted in various local landmarks, including a pub where Jagger reportedly composed the famous song 'Brown Sugar'. Despite its historical importance, the town's infrastructure has deteriorated over the years, with the once-glorious Hotel where grand events took place now in disrepair and humorously referred to as 'Hotel Beirut' due to its state.
