On 13th November, Crookwell hosted the Women’s Bowls Open 4’s Tournament, proudly sponsored once again by Gullen Range Wind Farm. The day was filled with friendly competition and community spirit, with the sun shining for a great day on the greens.

A total of 20 mixed ladies and men’s teams from across the region participated, including Canberra, Taralga, Young, Yass, Goulburn, and of course, Crookwell.

The tournament showcased exceptional talent, with first place going to a team from Canberra, who received the Gullen Range Sponsorship Prize. Second and third placed were claimed by Crookwell teams, demonstrating strong local performance.

Gullen Range Wind Farm Community Relations Manager, Erin Fletcher, said “We’re proud to support events like the Crookwell Women’s Bowls Open 4’s Tournament. It’s wonderful to see communities come together and enjoy a day of sport and friendship mixed with some light competition. Congratulations to all the teams who participated, and we look forward to another cracking event next year.”

On 15 October 2025, we were delighted to welcome another group of visitors to experience the final Gullen Range Wind and Solar Farm public tour of the year. The tour offered participants a unique opportunity to see renewable energy in action — getting up close to a wind turbine and a solar array and learning more about how clean energy is generated and integrated into the local community.

Although it was a windy day, guests were still able to step out of the bus and stand right up close to one of the operating wind turbines, seeing first-hand the enormous size of these machines. Visitors also had the opportunity to meet the operational staff on site, asking questions about what goes into maintaining the turbines, performing routine maintenance checks, and ensuring the ongoing protection of native wildlife and local fauna.

The tour began with a welcome at the Criterion Hotel in Crookwell, where guests enjoyed complimentary refreshments before boarding the shuttle bus to the site. Over the two-and-a-half-hour experience, participants gained insight into the farm’s operations, safety practices, and commitment to sustainable energy development.

Our team was thrilled by the level of interest and engagement from attendees. Tours continue to be a highlight for locals and visitors alike, helping to build awareness and understanding of renewable energy across the region.

The 2026 Public Tour Schedule is currently being finalised and details will be released in the coming months. You can contact us via email to register your interest and be notified when the new dates are announced or to join the waitlist should a tour book out due to their popularity and limited seats.

We look forward to welcoming more visitors to the wind and solar farm in 2026!
