Grazing Down The Lachlan

A FOODIE ADVENTURE along the Lachlan River in Central NSW ~ Celebrating foraged and farmed regional
(1)

Beneath the river gums, alongside a tranquil river - the scene is set for what is to be an epic long lunch. The multi award-winning Grazing Down the Lachlan (GDTL) will return to the banks of the Lachlan River in Forbes NSW on Saturday 17 September 2022. What makes this dining experience truly unique is the underlying commitment to delivering a zero-waste, environmentally responsible event.

‘Grazers’ are transported out to site by bus to minimise impact on the natural environment and are then free to wander along the 2.5 kilometre bush track between six stations offering delicious food with a matched beverage.
