Central NSW
West of the Blue Mountains and reaching north to Coonabarabran and its observatories in the Warrumbungle Ranges, a region of wide diversity from plains and rivers to mountains and caves, from ancient slab huts to lavish hotels, gold fossicking and caving to the culture and hospitality of the regional centres.

Tramp Wollemi National Park, drive the fertile south and taste cherries in Young or sample the wine and hospitality of Cowra, Orange and Mudgee, visit the Western Plains Zoo at sprawling Dubbo and the radio telescope at Parkes, watch the stars at Coonabarabran, explore the caves near Wellington and Orange.

This is a region to explore at leisure; by rental, by coach tour, by thumb.
