Lake Canobolas

Reviewed By DerAlteBach - Sydney, Australia

The people of Orange are so lucky to have such a glorious amenity on their doorstep. I strongly suggest walking around the lake in a counter-clockwise direction. After strolling through the forest, you'll end up at the high point of the circumnavigation, the dam wall, with its unbeatable views on all sides.

Orange Adventure Playground

Reviewed By KateGareth

We visited this fabulous playground with 5 children aged between 6-12 years old. Everyone LOVED it. Lots of swings, slides and places for imagination plus a scooter track too! We spent a few hours here and this kids still weren’t ready to leave. There are lovely places to have a picnic too with picnic tables. It’s right next door to the Botanical Gardens which we enjoyed a walk through to get to the playground ( even though it can be accessed via car with a car park next to it )

Loved our wine tasting session at @heiferstationwines yesterday. So glad I ordered their cheese platter to go with, it was delicious along with local preserves and sweet baby figs cheese ???? I enjoyed tasting their Génisse (French word for Heifer) NV Brust, their interesting white grape Rosé Saignée, Chardonnay. I really liked their 2018 handpicked Shiraz ???? It’s also a great place for families to visit for wine tasting as it a sandpit, roaming chickens and petting zoo.

Cook Park

Reviewed By 756georgiew

Cook Park is a beautiful oasis in city which clearly values its trees. Amazing old trees, well kept lawns and plenty of benches for a quiet read in a tranquil setting. I was lucky enough to catch the Begonia House in full flower, a very special experience. Lots of young families were having a great time watching the ducks and playing on the swings. A lovely park.

We did a U turn and drove back to the store....glad we did. Pick your own figs and plums were delicious. We also brought some olives, cooking salts and honey. Owner was very helpful. Worth a stop along the road to Orange.

Orange Regional Museum

Reviewed By Tonbou - Orange, Australia

The Museum has a new exhibition of photographs from the Central Western Daily (local newspaper) of men and women at work in the 1950 / 60's. The pictures (taken from the approx. 1.5 million negatives donated to the local Historical Society) show, with amazing clarity in spite off their age, many people working at occupations, many of which no longer exist. It is a great memory trip for some more senior people, and an eye-opener for the younger generation.

Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area

Reviewed By Kerryn72 - Melbourne, Australia

After a long windy drive up the mountain the view at sunset was lovely! Really worth the drive to see the valley view and take in the vista in front of you. At some points the trees are tall obstructing the view. A few information boards in centre of carpark to read about the area. Lots of parking. Also some walking trails you can do.
