Central NSW Information
Early explorers Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson 'discovered' central New South Wales when they finally cut a path over the Blue Mountains. This historic region is now home to Bathurst - the oldest inland settlement - and a Cobb & Co. route, a strong food and wine culture, some beautiful national parks and one of Australia's best regional zoos.
History is alive and well here, from the gold rush towns of Sofola and Hill end to remote outback stations the size of small countries Central NSW provides the visitor with an experience that won't easily be forgotten. The region's history can be read in its architecture - from humble slab huts to the lavish hotels and mansions built during gold and farming booms. Places such as Gulgong, Ophir and Sofala are a window on our pioneering past.
But Central NSW doesn't stop there. After a day exploring the wide open spaces you can sample the superb food, wine and hospitality of the region particularly in the Cowra-Orange-Mudgee district.
There are 14 National Parks and nature reserves to discover - including Wollemi National Park in the south to the Warrumbungles in the north - and many opportunities to explore underground at Abercrombie Caves and the Wellington Caves and Phosphate Mine. For an experience of a different kind discover space and learn about astronomy at any of the six observatories in the region - Siding Springs and Skywatch near Coonabarabran, Darby Falls near Cowra, Gilgandra, Dubbo and the Radio Telescope at Parkes.
