🕰️ History
Delegate is steeped in frontier heritage—it played a role in the Federation movement and once bustled with gold seekers and bushrangers. The town itself boasts a Heritage Trail, a museum in the old post office, and connections to early European and Indigenous settlement. The caravan park reflects that modest, community-driven character.
