Brungle is a small village, which local lore suggests, sits along Banjo Paterson’s “The Road to Gundagai.” You will find us where “The mountain road goes up and down, from Gundagai to Tumut town.” The original Brungle Hall was built with dancing and music in mind. It was opened on 24th May 1907 with a ball. In 1926 the building was renamed Brungle Memorial Hall. The larger auditorium was built on in 1935. Another opening ball was held, this time attended by 400 people. Our hall was home to the first WWII honour board in the district and a memorial fence was erected in 1949.
The hall quickly captured the heart of our village. Host to dances, meetings, parties, weddings and wakes, it has played a part in many special occasions. More recently it has once again become a venue for concerts and markets. In 2017, the original hall had to be pulled down and was replaced with a new kitchen, supper room and toilets. The main auditorium retains the original character of the building.
The Brungle Memorial Hall stands on land traditionally owned by the Wiradjuri people.
