Braidwood was named after surgeon and pioneer Dr Thomas Braidwood Wilson to commemorate his work in improving conditions for convicts. The town was first settled in the 1820s, but it grew dramatically with the discovery of gold in the area in 1851–52. The gold rush attracted bushrangers, who regularly held up gold consignments as they were carted out of town. Braidwood prospered for two decades, but the alluvial gold soon ran out and the population dwindled rapidly. Larger enterprises extracted gold commercially until around 1910.

As you may have guessed i love the old buildings in Braidwood. Here is the lovely old post office. I really wanted the red letter box to stand out in the image as it really draws your eye to the entrance of the building.
