A rare combination of industrial heritage and picturesque natural beauty, the site is being revitalised into a unique regional destination offering a diverse range of authentic cultural, community and recreational experiences making it perfect for a short stay or more permanent lifestyle change. A quiet rural town, Portland has a rich heritage of a single industry town. The site of Australia’s first cement works it supplied cement to some of Sydney’s most iconic buildings and became known as “the town that built Sydney” The Foundations shares a strong connection to the town centre of Portland situated on the Main Street and sharing the togetherness of a single industry town Portland is also known as a creative “arty town” with a growing community of artists, makers, and like -minded creatives taking up residence. The signs of yesteryear are a major tourist attraction with vintage advertising signs displayed throughout the town on character art deco buildings. Ask any longtime local and they’ll tell you what they’ve always quietly known – the town that built Sydney has always been the heart of the central west. Off the beaten track (always the best place to uncover hidden treasures), two and a half hours from Sydney, it’s only now that others are starting to catch on. A stone’s throw from Lithgow and Bathurst, and with Mudgee just down the road it’s the perfect base to explore the industry valley.
