Bongongolong
Bongongolong is an Australian district and cadastral parish of rural smallholdings within the bounded locality of Burra Creek of Gundagai Shire in the Riverina region of New South Wales. It is located approximately north west of Gundagai, within the Jones Creek district.
==History==
Early European settlers in the area originally used the land for grazing livestock. In 1874 while propecting for gold between Bongongolong and Coolac, a previously unrecorded meteorite was discovered near the village by local man Thomas McMahon. Development in the area around Bongongolong boomed in the late 19th Century with the discovery of gold in Bongongolong Creek in 1879. A public school was established in 1880〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chronological List Of Schools 1861–1880 )〕 and by 1889 a stamping battery was in operation. This attracted national media attention when in August, the manager of the mill was committed for trial for his part in the fraudulent sale of impure smelted gold. By the early 20th Century, a community hall and post office had been built at Bongongolong.
The ongoing decline of the town from World War I onwards is evidenced by the closure of the public school for the last time in 1961.〔 Today little remains of the village, with a few farm houses surviving. The street-grid and foundations for a number of community buildings remain visible.
Sometimes the town's name has also been spelled Bongongalong causing some difficulty when reviewing historical documents.
