Memoirs of McLeod’s Daughters Walk
Freeling is home to many filming locations used in the McLeod’s Daughters series, these include the Gungellan Truck Stop,
Town Hall, Gungellan Hotel and the streetscapes which were used for filming in almost every episode.
1. Gungellan Hotel
Gray Street, Freeling
Play a game of pool, have a meal or buy some souvenirs from
one of the most recognized pubs in Australia. The Gungellan
Hotel stands proudly in Freeling and has been kept true to its
form as shown in the series, great photo opportunities and
memorabilia on display.
Flashback!
Some memorable moments in the Gungellan
Hotel were:
•Claire and Tess McLeod singing karaoke before
Tess retires to one of the accommodation
rooms for her first night with Alex Ryan;
•The McLeod’s women try to foil the publican by
luring him into a trap to catch him “in the act”
after his misconduct with Becky. Unfortunately
Meg just gets herself into trouble and narrowly
avoids a very serious situation;
•The hotel sure was busy with Stevie Hall &
Alex Ryan’s first night together as well, some
series later;
•Tayler confronts her estranged mum on the
verandah after 15 years of not hearing a word.

(Gungellan Town Hall)
Shop 4 Hanson Street, Freeling

The local opportunity shop, “Someone Might Like It” fundraises

treasure trove of bargains!
Some quirky memorabilia is on show, as well as some original
artwork done by a local artist that was featured in a number of
scenes throughout the series.
3. Gungellan Coffee Break & Browse (memorabilia – photos)
Shop 5/2 Hanson Street, Freeling
Sit and enjoy a coffee or a delicious cake or grab some lunch in
the coffee shop where your favourite stars would visit during
shooting. Check out the McLeod’s Daughters photos on the
wall of the cast and crew in “Gungellan” during the making
of the series.
Flashback!
In Episode 163 the town is re-enacting the
founding moments of Gungellan 175 years
ago, however the Gungellan Farmers Council
refuse to acknowledge the women of the past.
During the sesqui-centenary celebrations Jodi
rides in on her horse to impress upon the
men that the McLeod’s women were just as
important in the foundation of the township
as the men were.
The Freeling Institute is a beautiful old stone building still
used by the community today for many different functions
and is available for hire. In the McLeod’s Daughters series this
location was a popular spot for protests, town meetings, the
Gungellan Ball and meetings of the Gungellan Farmers Council.
When filming, the stars and production crew used to park
their production vehicles and change rooms alongside the hall
and use the institute as a break out area and dining hall.
5. Gungellan Truckstop
Hanson St, Freeling
Flashback!
The Truckstop was the place to go for local
gossip and a cuppa. Originally owned by an
ex-champion boxer, Ken Logan, the Gungellan
Truckstop had fallen into disrepair. On his
sudden death, the business was revived by a
dream of Terry’s and sold to Harry Ryan, the
local hard-nosed land mogul. After Harry’s
untimely passing, the Truckstop was purchased
by another man (not dissimilar to Harry) Phil
Rackich and the sassy Moira Doyle, female
mechanic extraordinaire who stole his heart.
This iconic landmark is still available for great photo
opportunities from the outside, as all inside props
have been sold.
