Welcome to the Club's website
Rylstone is an old stone village of about 1200 people on the Cudgegong River. It is located 237 km north-west of Sydney, 47 km south-east of Mudgee, 93 km north of Lithgow and 590 m above sea-level. Wool, sheep, cattle, coalmining, wine, olives, tourism and cement production are the mainstays of the local economy.
The area was occupied by the Wiradjuri people prior to white settlement. A townsite was surveyed in 1842 at what had been a camping spot for stockmen. St James Anglican Church was founded in 1850. Notorious bushranger Captain Thunderbolt was once held at the lock-up overnight in 1861 while being transported to Bathurst to stand trial for horse theft.
Kandos is a small industrial town of some 1800 people located in the Capertee Valley, on the lower slopes of Coomber Melon Mountain. It is 231 km north-west of Sydney, 87 km north of Lithgow, 55 km south-east of Mudgee and 762 m above sea-level.
A group of purebred dog lovers got together and formed the new Rylstone Kandos & District Dog Club which was granted affiliation with Dogs NSW early in 2008.
The aim of the club is to promote purebred dogs within our community, running dog shows in the area annually and having regular social events for our members.
If you would like to become a member of this club, please refer to our Membership Application on the Membership page.
