Marulan is a small town approximately 160 km southwest of Sydney. Originally the Hume Highway - the major arterial road between Melbourne and Sydney - passed through the town, but it was by-passed in 1986. Today the town is much quieter and only attracts the odd visitor.
The town clock was erected in 1991 as a gift to recognise 10 years of service by the local Lion's Club.
