Billinudgel was first established over a hundred years ago when the north coast railway was first built. The town was even put forward as a possible national capital in the old days but thankfully Canberra got the nod. Billinudgel is famous for its historic hotel (which regularly gets flooded) as does a lot of town. There’s now a quite large industrial estate with many trades and professions represented. Billi Lids Day Care Centre and Humble Pies are notable establishments.
