20 km south-west of Molong and 16 km west of Cudal, on the banks of the Mandagery Creek is Manildra a small village of just 500+ people.
Established here in 1904 the Manildra Flour Mill is the largest flour mill in the Southern Hemisphere
(still being expanded).
Originally it was in Cargo but when the railway went to Manildra it was moved there.
Manildra is also the location of the National Bread Show.
In 1923 a travelling picture show called The Amusu (pronounced 'Amuse You') was established and settled permanently in Manildra in 1936. It is reportably the oldest continuously operating picture theatre in Australia.
Have a picnic in one of two lovely parks each with BBQ facilities or try some fishing in Boree or Mandagery Creek.
