Central NSW Tourism

Central NSW Tourism Packed with gastronomic delights, magnificent landscapes & rich cultural heritage, Central NSW almost seems custom-made for travellers.

Tucked behind the Blue Mountains and just 2.5 hours from Sydney is a place that’s easy to find yet full of experiences you’ll want to lose yourself in. Packed with gastronomic delights, magnificent landscapes and a rich cultural heritage, Central NSW almost seems custom-made for those travellers looking for a genuine, high quality escape that is close to home. Orange and Cowra will of course live

up to their foodie reputations. But this culinary passion runs deep through an entire region that has many more equally amazing experiences for you to unearth – from Bathurst’s Legall Patisserie, one of Australia’s most authentic French bakeries, to a sophisticated Wine & Wagyu BBQ at Gooree Park, Mudgee’s unique thoroughbred stud farm, vineyard and beef producer. A few days of food and wine hunting in Central NSW will take you through classic, beautifully preserved Aussie towns steeped in history and folklore. Outlaw bushrangers like Captain Thunderbolt and the formidable Jessie Hickman rode these trails. It’s the birthplace of Banjo Paterson, the traditional land of the Wiradjuri people and the site of a major Japanese POW breakout during WWII. The people here keep this heritage very much alive through contemporary displays of art and history, like Gulgong’s Symbol Trail – 70 tiles laid in the pavement showing the secret street language of ‘swaggers’ from years ago. So bring your boots, appetite and curiosity and unearth something special in Central NSW. Central NSW Tourism is a Non Profit organisation established for the purpose of promoting and developing tourism activities within the Central Region of NSW. The region includes the government areas of Bathurst, Blayney, Cabonne, Cowra, Forbes, Mid Western, Parkes, Orange, Weddin and Wellington.

⛰️🚶🏻Explore the beautiful Oberon region.

Bushwalkers/Forestwalkers! Have you been to the Blenheim Forest & Blenheim Rotary Walk? It follows a small section of the Kings Stockyard Creek along unsealed walking tracks and joins onto the Blenheim State Forest roads. The area of land just off Shakespeare Close (where entry is gained via a gate onto the tracks) is a serene walk along a small willow lined creek, before crossing a quaint walking bridge. The track continues through Eucalypt trees and mostly native bush, to meet with the Blenheim State Forest. This forest is predominantly Radiata Pine.

Native Forest Walk 50min
Pine Forest Walk 1-3hrs
