I loved this place. They have loads of exhibits. I don't know why there's only a trickle of people through. It's only about 7 bucks

Wonderful. The ladies working here immediately came and helped us within a few minutes of us coming inside when they were fairly busy but gave us amazing tips to introduce us to the area (and gave us excellent recommendations for dinner). And the museum is a gem. Amazingly well preserved history but I couldn't help but be amazed at the gems, fossils and minerals! The detail, the love and the care is outstanding. I could have spent an hour reading everything but it was almost closing time!! Well worth a visit, an absolute gem (pun intended 😉)

One of the best Rural Museums I've been to. So much to see and wonderful to have so much of the equipment operational or at least in a complete state.

Well worth the visit. An amazing variety of emerging!! Slightly over attendant volunteer, we would have liked a bit more time alone, but he was very keen to share his knowledge.

Could spend hours here. Has an art gallery as well as the rural museum. The ambulance collection is really quite good. Something for the souvenir collector as well.

Excellent setup. Great source of history all in one place. Highly recommend. Allow at least an hour or two to have a good look around.

Very impressive amount of antiques and vehicles. Wonderful that everything is labelled and well set out. A lot of love has gone into this place! Definitely a history lesson for the young and maybe not so young. Certainly worth the small entry fee.

So lucky to be here to see the Grey Mouse Spitfire take off heading to the Melbourne Grand Prix for a flyover. Great Museum with very friendly helpful staff. Hubby went on the spitfire simulator and had some fun. Now has a coffee shop with nice food and hot and cold drinks. All planes in this museum actually fly as well. Very interesting and worth a visit. $20 adults.

Wow! The aircraft were amazing. Very well maintained with informative videos at each stop. Clean and well laid out. Great experience.

Excellent display with guided audio and tour guides. Also flight simulators are available to hire and experience flying a warbird like a Spitfire. Cafe and gift shop on site. Excellent access for all abilities and the staff are very friendly.

Came here for Warbirds Airshow 2024. The scale is smaller but still enjoyable. My husband enjoyed the day a lot. A food stall sold really bad food though we never expected much. Thanks for the great weather too! The accommodations around were fully booked out at least a month ago due to this event.

Well worth a visit. Friendly volunteers/staff. You can take advantage of one of their flight simulators for only $69 for 30 minutes and they include your entry fee. The on-site cafe has a good choice of food. Allow a couple of hours if you do a flight in the simulator. We did the Spitfire .

Absolutely great, Bev was just an amazing lady. Very knowledgeable about her planes. Very enthusiastic. I had the best experience there. Thank you guys for the memories.

Brilliant 👏 👏 this museum is really informative, and the variety of planes was amazing! My Mum and grandma also enjoyed it too! We are definitely coming back as we look forward to seeing a airshow here one day.

Gundagai 360 Perched a top a hill in South Gundagai, the Rotary Lookout at 56 Luke St offers one of the most rewarding panoramic experiences in New South Wales' Riverina region. I visited on a golden September afternoon in 2025, and the 360-degree views of Gundagai and the winding Murrumbidgee River left me in awe, transforming what could have been a quick stop into a serene hour of reflection and photography. This lesser-known gem, accessible via Mount and Luke Streets, is a testament to the town's resilient spirit, providing a bird's-eye perspective on its history and landscape that feels both intimate and expansive. The drive up from the Hume Freeway—just a mere 2km detour—makes it incredibly convenient for highway travelers, yet it feels worlds away from the rush of traffic. As you ascend, the road narrows slightly, building anticipation until you reach the lookout's open gravel area with ample parking for a handful of cars. There's a single weathered bench facing the vista, perfect for a moment of quiet contemplation, and enough grassy space to spread out a blanket for a spontaneous picnic or snack break. I packed a simple thermos of tea and sandwiches, echoing the recommendations from fellow visitors who praise it as an ideal spot for al fresco relaxation. The air was crisp with the scent of eucalyptus, and the only sounds were distant birdsong and the faint murmur of the river below—a far cry from the bustling heritage town center. What truly elevates the Rotary Lookout is its sweeping outlook over Gundagai's iconic features. To the north, the heritage rail bridge stretches gracefully across the Murrumbidgee, a nod to the town's 19th-century rail heyday, while the modern Hume Freeway bridge hums with contemporary life. The floodplain below tells a story of triumph over tragedy: Gundagai's original settlement was ravaged by devastating floods in 1852, forcing relocation to higher ground, and from here, you can trace the river's meandering path that shaped this resilient community. Rolling hills frame the scene, dotted with golden paddocks and the occasional kangaroo silhouette, creating a quintessential Australian vista that's especially magical at sunrise or sunset when the light bathes everything in warm hues. Photographers will delight in the endless angles—wide shots capturing the town's patchwork of historic buildings or close-ups of the bridge's iron latticework. Established with community effort, likely through the local Rotary Club's initiatives, the lookout embodies Gundagai's collaborative ethos. It's one of several elevated vantage points in the area, including the nearby Mount Parnassus Lookout, which offers similar valley views up and down the Murrumbidgee, but Rotary feels more intimate and less crowded. Facilities are basic but sufficient: the bench invites lingering, and a rubbish bin encourages visitors to leave no trace, aligning with the "take your rubbish with you" ethos that's crucial for preserving this natural perch. I appreciated the lack of commercialization—no entry fees or souvenir stalls—just pure, unadulterated scenery. A word of advice: the access road is unsealed in parts, so take it slow in low vehicles, especially after rain. For those with mobility concerns, the short walk from parking to the edge is flat but uneven, so sturdy shoes are wise. Pair your visit with a stop at the Gundagai Visitor Information Centre for maps of the town's heritage trail, or extend the day with a riverside picnic at nearby Anzac Grove. In a region famed for the Dog on the Tuckerbox statue and its gold rush lore, the Rotary Lookout stands out as a peaceful highlight, offering not just views, but a profound connection to Gundagai's past and present. It's well worth the brief detour—trust me, you'll leave with a renewed appreciation for this charming riverside town.

Great vantage point, no shade, no access to water or toilets and next to a house with dogs that barked the entire time

Great lookout overlooking Gundagai.. the photos attached show a dry countryside, it would look so much better during a good season..

The room was great. The guy that checked me in was great. Unfortunately the accumulator site, bookings.com, didn't let me tell the hotel I was disabled and couldn't do steps. The guy who checked me in gave me a ground floor room at no extra cost. I believe the restaurant is renowned. Of course despite the spam about how great it was it was closed on Wednesday at 1900. This despite me being told it was open Wednesday to Sunday. The lovely lady who was about to ring me to tell me I'd forgotten my insulin needs a bonus.

Views are very good from here with a good informative sign provided. There are no amenities here other than a rubbish bin. Worth the short drive up the hill to have a look.

Quite and beautiful, just 4 minutes away from Hume Highway. Sunset would be the perfect view.

What a great view! We were here at sunset and it was spectacular. We were planning to return in the morning but there was a thick blanket of fog. Worth a visit.

very lovely staff, got my first adventure passport here

It will be great when the new centre opens It's be a tough road for all concerned I travel frequently on V-line coach to Canberra for cancer treatment Yesterday the public toilets were the cleanest they have been in 3 yrs congratulations on who did them. The girls are always pleasant and meet you with a smile

Gundagai has an amazing history and the town has had a big facelift. The old railway station, the bridges, the art deco shops, aboriginal history. Dad, Dave Ma and Mable statues are in the park. Take a break off the Hume and spend some time here. Really interesting.

Great place to visit, friendly staff and heaps of information of things to do around Gundagai. To see the visitor centre on my travel show which shows you free and budget campsites around the local areas of Australia and things to do. So tune in every Thursday night on YouTube with Oz RV travels

Beautiful upgrade of Main Street. Riverfront caravan park is excellent. Excellent info centre

Pathetic. Eftpos machine does not work. COuldn't buy a drink.

In the centre of the city. Good parking Off Street. Very friendly and informative people working behind the counter

A piece of history in gundagai. A must see and it needs to be repaired.

Gundagai is a magnificent example of what is great about country Australia and in this case NSW. The town is steeped in history. Beautiful on the eye and warmth for the heart. An authentic piece of Aussie history that has resisted the maul of modernity.

Unfortunately the bridge was blocked off for restoration works at both ends. I still highly recommend driving up to it to view the bridge. You can also drive underneath the bridge which gives you a unique view.

So incredible seeing this old bridge. Be quick to see it won't last much longer

Bush timber. Hand built. Slowly being reclaimed by the land. Great photo stop.

Unfortunately they have fenced the bridge off and is very hard to take photos

A piece of treasure of Australian country history. Such a shame that it’s not being looked after.

It's the small tourist stop you do either on the way to Victoria or New South Wales It's sad to see the shoo all closed up and the statue looking a little worse for wear. Still a good stop to stretch our legs, however. You can buy farm-fresh apples from a shed about 200 meters away from the Dog in the Sydney direction. If you drive towards the Olivers you can also have a photo with the big koala

Had a little stroll in the dog walking area. My pup loved it, & he even wanted to get on the original tucker box for a photo op! But, he's a bit of an escape artist & there were other dogs around, a freeway nearby, & way too many people and vehicles! So that didn't happen! We got close though, & a quick snap or 3! Good to see some works in progress with the new site for the old dog 🐕 mapped out on a billboard.

🐶 The Dog on the Tuckerbox, Gundagai ​This is the famous Dog on the Tuckerbox Pioneer Monument, an iconic piece of Australian folklore and a major tourist attraction located near Gundagai, New South Wales. ​Key Features ​The Statue: A bronze statue of a loyal dog sitting atop a wooden box, which is a "tuckerbox" (an Australian term for a food container). The dog is looking upwards, away from the box. ​The Base: The statue sits on a stone pedestal with plaques dedicating the monument "To our Pioneers" and commemorating its unveiling by Prime Minister Joseph Lyons in 1932. ​Location: The monument is situated in a paved area, which includes a small water feature (visible in your photo), and is adjacent to a cafe and farm shop, creating a popular rest stop for travellers on the Hume Highway. ​The Story ​The statue is inspired by an old Australian folk poem, dating back to the 1850s, about a bullock driver's misfortunes. The final straw for the unlucky bullocky was finding his dog sitting on (or, in the original, fouling) his food box, or "tuckerbox," which was an essential item for pioneers and drovers. The well-known folk song, "Where the Dog Sits on the Tuckerbox (Five Miles from Gundagai)", further immortalised the story. ​It has become a symbol of the resilience, hardship, and unwavering spirit of Australia's early pioneers and bullock drivers, and the loyalty of their working dogs. ​It's one of those classic Aussie roadside stops—a bit of history, a bit of humour, and a great excuse to stretch your legs. Just don't let your own dog sit on your lunch! ​Would you like to know more about the poem or the bullockies it commemorates?

Have always wanted to go, I would say it’s 3.5 stars, I don’t know what we were expecting but my husband thought it would be bigger like this Koala that was also at the same spot? Westopped in Gundagai and then found dog on the tucker bog as we were leaving. Luckily there is two exits as we missed the 1st one. Lots of food places, not a lot of merchandise but it is currently about to be renovated. Friendly staff, it was good to see. There was also another good lookout on the other side of Gundagai that looked out over the whole town, worth the look if you are going through.

A nice spot to stop for a break from driving, the statue & fountain is as you’d expect.. good for a photo! I just think they should have water fountains for dogs. I saw a lot of dogs here so I’m surprised they didn’t.

Always a great stop, had to show my animal lover Canadian friends. Cafe attached currently closed for rebuild. Went to the healthy cafe next to fuel depot and bought a delightful healthy lunch.

Couple of the stores have changed here but the Oliver’s has good food + coffee along with a range of other local produce. There are charging stations behind - though I think they’re mainly tesla.

I and my family we all like our cricket 🏏, so we went to Jubilee Park, the day is nice 👍. As we walked around,'The Captain Walk' . To see the 47 bronze sculpture at Cootamundra. The Captain s Walk was planned and executed by the Cootamundra Shire Council (now Cootamundra- Gundagai Regional Council) with the approval of the Australian Cricket Board 🏏 (now Cricket Australia 🇦🇺). The first Australian cricket 🏏 team to tour England in 1868, Captain by Unaarrimim (Johnny Mullagh), the leading Aboriginal player. Stage 1, unveiled on 30 August 1998, comprised the likeness of Unaarrimim (Johnny Mullagh). Stage 2, comprising the remaining 30 Captains, was unveiled by the sculptor Tom Bass on 27th August 2008, the centenary of Bradman's birth barely a kilometres away. Stage 3, unveiled on 12 th March 2020, brought the walk up to date with the unveiling of three new busts - Shane Watson , Steve Smith, Tim Paine.

Remarkable tribute to Australia's cricket history. Set in a beaut park in this interesting nsw country town of Cootamundra. Probably needs to start adding some female greats as well!

Fantastic display & super tastefully done. Great stop off on a road trip to stretch the legs. The park where this is also has some lovely play equipment for the kids (both big and small) as well as clean bbqs & tables.

We found this gem by accident passing through on our way to Young. My hubby is a cricket fanatic and i have never seen such joy on his face as we walked through the sculptures of the cricket captains. In his words "the best stop and well worth a detour" Next to it is an awesome park for the kids. Public toilets and picnic spot. The whole town seems very cricket themed.

The Captains walk itself is interesting but it is also part of a great park with bbqs, shelters, playground, toilets. Great to amuse the kids whilst you appreciate the cricketing history. I learnt a few things as did my Dad and he knows way more cricket than I do. Parking is easy right out front.

Good idea for a small country town! Also encouraging for cricket fans. It is good to know a few more names and their achievements for Australia and the world of cricket. A nice short walk done in a beautiful park and they have all the basic well maintained amenities nearby!

Heaven for cricket lovers.. One of the best places I’ve ever visited in my life. Captain’s walk is a beautiful park with all the Australian Test Captains’ sculptures.. their records and stats engraved on each sculpture. Bradman’s Birthplace is about 3 minutes from here. A great historic place. People in Cootamundra are lucky to be part of this heritage. The park consists of bbq, children play area and a beautiful walking path.

Worth a visit even if you’re not a cricket buff. Lots of memorabilia, articles and history about Sir Donald Bradman and his achievements as a sportsman and all-around gentleman. Attendant was very welcoming and helpful. There is also an adjoining cottage of old-time wares.

Very beautiful and my kids enjoyed All of the memorials thinks

What an absolute credit to the volunteers that made this place happen and keep it running. Whether you know cricket or not, you know "The Don" Sir Donald Bradman. to see his birthplace..including a portrait with his parents and the midwife that delivered him. The actual room he was born in...Incredible that it is all still here for us to enjoy. The biggest shout out to the wonderful staff/volunteers who keep it open everyday and their Incredible passion. It's definitely a MUST visit. I'm going back as I was a little rushed for time and need to see everything a little more in depth.

Worth the visit, $5 entry on arrival and the people who work there are lovely to chat with and helpful. Amenities in the backyard. Also visit the captains walk and Bradman oval while you’re there

If you're ever in Cootamundra it's worth popping in here, a very interesting place & lots of history.

Best cricket museum I’ve been too worth paying the $5 plus more so much iconic stuff and more than just Bradman. A must visit.

A must see for any cricket lover. It is filled with wonderful memoribalia associate with Bradman. The museum is volunteer run and is a labour of love for the vulunteers. It's a great place to visit even if you are not a cricket fanatic as it offers a fascinating glimpse into the man who became a national icon and international identity.

Situated within the Tourist Information centre, next to the Cootamundra Railway station, I rate this to be the best country town museum in Australia by far. Many local displays from different eras separated in rooms with clear information for each item. Free to enter and a free cuppa as well. Well worth the visit.

Wonderful showcase of local history! Well worth a visit. Artifacts are well organised and labelled with easy to read explanations. Absolutely recommend!

Other than this heritage centre being so well presented, Simon the gentleman who was our guide was so friendly, knowledgeable and couldn’t do enough to help us find all the hidden gems in this great town. Thank you Simon

The best thing about this museum was the people who make IT happen. All volunteers and aLL very proud of their town. Coota is a lovely place, if you have the chance, make the trip/detour, The road from the expressway is excellent and will suit most car enthusiasts, just be careful. NSW HP ;-)

Great little museum with some many interesting artefacts. Staff fantastic with children and very knowledgeable. A little gem, worth a visit

All sorts of aspects of history here. Well presented- a room for each topic! A wonderful volunteer there went out of her way to assist us following up a family search. Thank you!

Well worth a visit. Well curated with interesting exhibits and rooms.

Lots of delicious honey! I really liked this shop, as a quick stop during one of our recent adventures. Not only does it have lots of honey to taste test and a surprisingly wide range of bee gifts, but it also a small amount of bee keeping heritage. I enjoyed looking through the history whilst mulling over exactly how much honey I could consume in a day. The service was lovely and the atmosphere in the shop is very relaxed. There are plenty of items designed for children and also a good range of other local prices that isn’t honey based. I also notice honey based skin care items too. Well worth a visit, and there is coffee and toilets nearby for travelers. It’s in a very pretty location with plenty of things to check out and wander through.

Amazing honey shop , we travel from Sydney to buy our favourite honey and the owners are so nice and helpful , it's a pleasure to buy from them .

A must stop. So many options, many of which you can taste. We stock up on our travels and often manage to find a gift as well.

Popped in for my regular top up of the best honey I have very tasted 😋 while visting my sister in Wallendbeen I always get a load of honey to take back home. They also sell pickles , also very yummy 😋

Natural Australian native forest Honey produce in New south Wales. Love the much Honey on offer and don't used any other Honey

This shop is a must see in Murrumburrah for locals and visitors alike. It boasts a comprehensive array of honey types, all of high quality. This is not to mention the endless bee related paraphernalia. Every time we pop in here we end up with an arm full of goods! Thank you Arlyn and Ken for your hospitality.

Awesome store to buy honey! You can also try so many and you will probably eat to much... haha but it's so yum! They have all different honey from all around the country. You can buy some honey combe and creamed honey. The lady who served us was very friendly and cute. I love these small boutiques that you can only find in country towns😊

Quiet a lovely please to visit, alot of local history. Cheap to visit and a great place to wonder around and she how people lived.

Lots of very interesting history in many displays, with friendly staff to assist.

Friendly staff willing to help with family research.

A lovely museum, full of beautifully displayed and restored pieces and real history from this very area! It is under attack, however, from those who would rewrite history with a 2024 world view, political correctness and driven by minority of loud, squeaky, troublemaking voices. Yes, we should be ashamed of what happened to Chinese people way back, and our Indigenous brothers & sisters, but the truth is the truth and it must be told, and understood in the context of the time that it happened.

Excellent little museum that shows the astonishing history such a small town. So many stories that helped shape who we are as a national were born in this place. You can always learn something new each day and the lambing flat museum will give you more than enough! Drop in for a quick visit, or spend a few hours having lunch in the adjacent park.

Great history of young and the Eureka Stockade.

Incredibly informative with a diverse array of wonderfully kept machines, clothing, photographs and other items from Young's (and Australia's) past. The workers are friendly and had a great "treasure hunt" to keep the kids (aged 4 to 11) entertained and engaged at the museum. Highly recommend!

Family gathering. Great walks and scenery. Learnt a little of the Chinese history during the gold rush. Very peaceful and serene. Water features, ducks, Chinese architecture, lots of plants and trees. Take a hat in summer . No entry fee .

Beautiful town. We visited lambing flat chinese park it was good no one around except us as its winter plus rainy day. Its worth a visit ❤️

Nice chilled place to visit and kill a bit of time. Worth visiting as it's well maintained and cared for.

Visited early on a weekday afternoon, we were the only ones there besides a couple of council workers. A quiet, calming & peaceful place to take a walk & take in the surroundings.

Amazing place to visit! It is so tranquil and peaceful, just a great place to unwind and let all the stress disappear from ur body! Well worth visiting for those who even live there to get away from the hustle and bustle!❤️

A complete and totally pleasant surprise. Such a beautiful lake with artistic monuments. Doesn't make up for the terrible history of 1800s anti (Chinese) immigration, but a fitting memorial.

Tranquil gardens good place to unwind has barbeques if you chose to have family picnic will need to watch little ones around water

I visited to restock my father’s apricot jam supply. Love purchasing locally made and grown products. Beautiful store with all sorts of different items, I could have spent a fortune. Walked away with jam, vinegars, cherry juice and chocolate. The staff are wonderful friendly, knowledgeable and generous. Will definitely be going again when I’m next in Young.

Wow! What a find! Great local cherry pies home made fudge and specialty chocolates as well as a variety of cordial flavours that u don’t see on the market, jams, sauces and other interesting finds eg an Australian map that u can put pins in where u have visited plus many other gifts! Worth a stop into this amazing shop!

Fond memories from our visit three years ago. Wow what a place for inspiration gifts for yourself or someone special or a new potential friend. A must stop & shop

Went to visit with the intentions of buying fudge and jam. Attractive stocked shop with lots of differant types of gifts. The two staff members were too involved in their own conversation,hence we walked out empty handed.

We went out of our travel route just to visit Poppas. Their cherry jam is the best ever. They also have other hand cordials, chocolates, fudge..... How could you NOT visit Poppas.

This shop was amazing. I brought all my xmas presents. The staff she was terrific and a pleasure to meet.

Extremely friendly, helpful family run business. Cherry Pies are delicious. Great selection of handmade chocolates and fudge. They have almost the entire range of Billsons cordials as well as Billsons Soda in the fridge. Poppa's is a must visit every time you visit Young!

Great to wonder around the homestead and gardens. I found the stables fascinating the stables are large and concrete mad for large horses. On open days these food and coffee in the gardens. Bring your camera .allow a couple of hours. Make a booking.

What an amazing perfect Australian made castle we have out at Greenethorpe New South Wales I had the privilege of attending an open day this gave us all a glimpse of the past . the perfect gardens the attention to detail that the volunteers putting in day and day out just open the house for a few days a year. A must for all to see and visit. Definitely stay in Cowra and travel down for the day

Our delightful journey into the countryside to explore our own family history led us to the stunning Iandra Castle—and what an unforgettable experience it was! The grounds and home are lovingly maintained by a team of dedicated volunteers who pour their hearts into preserving this incredible piece of living history. The gardens are beautifully established, and the castle itself is simply breathtaking—full of charm, stories, and wonder. It’s clear that so much care goes into keeping this special place open for the public. We were truly moved by the passion of everyone involved. Honestly, get your tickets, take the drive, and make a wonderful weekend of it. It’s a hidden gem well worth discovering!

There was a ticketed Open Day at the castle today. The gardens were beautifully presented. The rooms in the castle are stunning and you could see the clear difference between the rooms for the family and those for the servants. The volunteers do a great job both with the public and how they present the castle.

What a majestic old building originally sitting on 32000 acres of very productive land. Being ĺovingly restored to its former glory. Well worth a visit. It opens to the public at different times throughout the year

Beautifully manicured lawns and gardens surround the lovingly restored buildings. Steeped in history, this is a wonderful place to visit and definitely worth the trip. Full of old world charm, it’s a history lesson in itself. Be sure to take a wander through the grounds and enjoy the rose gardens.

We were blessed to visit the castle on a beautiful Autumn day. You can buy tickets online ($20 adults). Not as much a castle as a large manor house, this piece of Australian history is local legend. Well run, and supported by local groups such as the Lions Club who sold sausage sandwiches and drinks, local volunteers also gave interesting lectures about the history of Iandra Castle. You can tour the main house, stables and garden at your leisure. We brought a picnic lunch with us and enjoyed it on one of the ground level verandahs. On the day coffee was available from a van, and the Young Steam engine enthusiasts had their steam engines chugging away near the stables. A most interesting and enjoyable day soaking up the sunshine and Australian history.

Walked🚶‍♀️through here a while back. I enjoyed all the gift ideas that were on display in the centre, and I then looked at the information about the Cowra Breakout it was rather interesting.

Recommended to view the hologram presentation here at the visitor centre prior to making way up to the Japanese Gardens and Breakout site

Great story told so very well Really enjoyable

Great place to see had a great holographic 9 minute show on historical POW camp well worth visiting for and some local wines, jams, chocolate etc for sale. Information lady was quite forward wanting to help when u were just looking around, we would have gone to her eventually but she was a little forward to get your attention! She gave us information quickly and accurately then we went on our way!

Great place to stop. Very informative.

A must do. The hologram display on the breakout was so well done. So educational.

Fantastic van park the place is in immaculate condition so clean and we'll maintained. One of the few parks that is pet friendly added to all this is it's terrific location right in town.

What a beautiful place. So serene, well thought out. Everything was in full bloom. Ducks were in there splendour. We even saw some ducklings Finished our afternoon off with a drink and snack from the Cafe.

A beautiful, tranquil experience! It is a must do attraction if you are visiting Cowra. I'm a local, and love taking my visitors and kids to the gardens. There's ducks and fish to feed, and lots of lizards to spot along the way. Highly recommended!

I love this place so much that I've bought a yearly ticket. I'm looking forward to seeing each season. It's a lovely drive from Canberra through Boorowa and great for my dogs. The staff are wonderful; so friendly and helpful. It's a pleasant overnight trip on a weekend.

This was a wonderful experience to walk around these beautiful manicured gardens. They took you to another world. Great service in the cafe with great food options and then a lovely gift shop and our dogs were welcomed to join us.

This is a lovely and serene garden that is well worth visiting. It is bigger than I expected, but not too big to be explored in 1-2 hours. You can also set up your picnic rug and spend the afternoon here. There is a cafe as well, up front.

Lovely and tranquil garden and not too busy. Good gift shop and cafe both of which are not over priced. Highly recommended.

If you love flowers this is the place for you. There is plenty of parking for cars & caravans, clean facilities, gift shop and cafe. The gardens are easy to walk around with plenty of spots to stop and enjoy the view.

Worth the stop if you're in the are especially if you visit the POW camp. Beautiful and peaceful Japanese cemetery. Interesting history.

Lovely to visit and see respect shown to fallen Japanese soldiers. I was surprised at how old a large majority were. The oldest one I found was 79 years old. Quite a few in the late 50's and mid 60's.

Very beautiful and remarkably done. So very peaceful

A small and well maintained cemetery that is in two sections. One is the resting place for Japanese POW’s and the other for some Australian soldiers.

Absolutely fantastic place to vist, the surrounding gardens are nice very well looked after and easy to access

Well worth the visit, a beautiful and tranquil park to spend the day wandering around

Very peaceful

Quiet camp by running water. Had problems finding walk tracks, all grassed over, so walked along the roads. Interesting old Orchard and sheds at Cassey farm. 4WD track to lookout Mt Nangar worth doing.

Beautiful national park, just beware that the roads are often fire trails, so some low vehicles need to go very slowly. It is absolutely gorgeous in spring, particularly after the rains, the green hills and wildflowers are unbelievable! It was very striking red dirt too, the Nangar Lookout walk is highly recommended, but I would also love to take advantage of the camping grounds and picnic areas too.

This is a great place to visit. It has some great views and lots of history and wildlife but the track to the top is quite rough. there are toilets at the campground and a few viewing platforms like the one at dripping rock All in all i loved the place and would recommend camping there. There is a video i made on my Youtube channel

Worth a visit. Such a beautiful part of Australia and well serviced by NSWNP. Easy access by car, nice walks and excellent campground and picnic area.

Lovely camp ground. Fire pits, drop loos but no water. View at top was ok

Awesome place for camping and a lot of awesome walking track’s, cool waterfall to climb up. It’s 1 hours from Cowra

Interesting rock face, although it was very dry and hot when we were there... No dripping unfortunately. Worthwhile driving on (4wd only) to top of mountain for spectacular views

Great spot to learn about fossil discovery in area, amazing staff who were excellent at explaining museum.

Age of Fishes Museum at Canowindra is well worth the stop. A terrific glimpse into the past, when fishes dominated the once inland seas. The fossil collection is a real eye opener and the result of many years of dedication putting it together. Kids with any kind of interest in science will love it. Friendly staff make it all the better experience.

If you have any interest in palaeontology or fish, then this is a must visit. If you have kids interested in dinosaurs, then I can highly recommend it as there's many interactive activities for kids. Even if you just have a casual interest in natural history it's worth a look.

Great museum covering prehistoric Age of Fishes. Best of only two similar museum in the world. We came to Canowindra only because of the museum. Exposition includes only small part of fossils discovered near by. Display is very interesting and informative. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the visit.

Loved this museum could get really close to the exhibits. Staff were amazing, super friendly. Could bring my dog in with me (dog is small Jack Russell). Spent an hour and a half. Unexpected and interesting attraction in a small town.

A wonderful museum with very important artefacts. Staff were very helpful and very lovely. A lot of interactive exhibits. Gift shop was surprisingly well stocked and also interesting. Worth visiting Canowindra for!

What an amazing museum! Seeing such complete, ancient, rare, large, fossil fish was amazing . You are allowed to touch them giving a unique, hands on experience. The staff ween so helpful and knowledgeable to help my family understand everything. The displays had easy to understand descriptive texts to help as well. With tv monitors showing what these fish and life was like almost 400,000 years ago way before the dinosaurs. There were 3 large sections plus an outdoor area full of info including timelines going back to the beginning of the earth and so the beginning of life. This helped us all place how these armoured fish evolved along with dinosaurs, mammals etc etc all the way to humans. This is a truly world class site!

Stunning views, plenty of walking/hiking tracks. The summit is a bit rough, but a must visit location of your in the area.

Great natural resource to visit near Orange. Multiple bushwalking options from short and flat to challenging. Toilet facilities at the summit. No dogs allowed though.

Great views, very peaceful, ample parking, very scenic.

Great views and walking tracks

the federal fall didn't have any water

So beautiful and calming

Australia at its finest.

Good to those who enjoys nature and wants to do swimming as well❤️❤️ must to visit. Felt fresh amd refreshing. Child friendly environment as well.

A lovely place to relax, get your feet wet and meet friendly locals, both human and bird variety. Not too far out of Orange. Accessible and plenty of parking

Orange doesn’t have many destinations, so I end up coming here almost every week. This is the best spot! I love the view—it’s amazing and it’s free. No wonder people keep coming; it’s the perfect place to relax when you’re feeling tired.

Relaxing place to have a get together. It’s a great place to walk, run or rest. You can cross to the other side of the lake by walking on the Dam. Lovely spot. Toilets, BBQ, Kids playground available. Parking plenty

A great spot in the summer. Fast to get to and plenty of parking. Not crowed out. Swimming was great. Water was refreshing but not cold. Swim platforms are anchored a short distance off the beaches. There is clean sand and grass perfect for picnics. A kiosk is available for coffee, cold drinks, snacks and ice creams. The dam is perfect for swimming with the ducks.

Was so nice to find this lake. A little beach area on both sides of the lake. Everyone was there swimming, paddle boarding. Great walking area over the bridge and to the other side of the lake. Also a tea house was there. Had a good variety of choices of food and snacks.

Beautiful lake. When we visited it started raining so could not finish the walk. I saw people enjoyong BBQ and swim in the lake. Great play area for kids too.

This place is amazing, I am a certified Chardonnay hater but theirs is fantastic! The first time I’ve ever ordered a glass of Chardonnay in my life! Plus the atmosphere was beautiful and the cheese plate was generous and delicious. Awesome staff, awesome place to spend a sunny day. Would give them an extra star if I could!

Today we had a great experience and time at Heifer Station just outside of Orange. The wine tasting was very good, just the right amount of information without anything pretentious and best of all we were left alone with the wine we were tasting at the moment so we could relax and discuss it privately. Their wines are superb and well worth the visit. The wine tasting notes had a very humorous touch which made them even more interesting to read. We also had the cheese platter which was very generous with a great selection: goats cheese, aged cheddar and a Brie, almonds, figs and a delicious relish. We had a great chat with the manager, Chewy, giving us the history of the original shearing shed converted into their tasting room as well the original old Cobb & Co stables beside the shed. It is definitely a great place to go even with young kids as there is a huge outdoor area with farm animals and a sandpit full of toy diggers.

Completed a wine tasting with a large soccer crew. Staff were friendly , and accommodating. Had a wine tasting and got the cheese and children's platters which were super cute.

What a find! So glad we visited Heifers Station. Amazing whites and super welcoming staff (massive shout out to Holly!). This place is perfect for couples, groups, paw parents and kids. We’ll be back!

We had a wonderful experience at Heifer Station ( our second visit there). The wines were absolutely exceptional—each variety showcasing remarkable depth and character. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the tasting experience both enjoyable and informative. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, creating the perfect setting to savour each sip. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy excellent wines and outstanding hospitality! Both Greg and Chewy were terrific hosts. Thanks. Bill & friends

The wine tasting at Heifer Station is a must when visiting Orange. The property is gorgeous and we loved visiting the animals on site after our tasting. Jordan was very knowledgeable, easy going and made the experience fun. Didn’t have the kids with us this trip but they would have loved the sandpit. Highly recommend.

An amazing winery! We went unfortunately on a very wet rainy day, but the staff made our experience so wonderful and warm with a hot fire place inside! Jordan took such great care of us, and was so knowledgeable on the wine region of Orange. Beautiful wines, and a surprisingly great house gin! We will definitely be back.

Exceptional. As an European, I usually don’t like light red wines, as they are too watery and tasteless for me, but each of Anullong Wines was very good and really tasty. We ended up buying the red six pack. Tricia’s customer service and knowledge about the wines was excellent.

Fantastic price for the wine tasting that has not been beat by any other places we visited. Staff was friendly and really helpful. Wine was awesome, our most favorite was Pinot Noir and Harriet. Sagrantino came with awesome biscuits, highly recommend to try the combo.

Great cellar door! Delicious wines! 😋 Lovely old building. Real wood fire 🔥😍♥️ we were last tasting for the day, Kate was very generous with her time, very down to earth and very hospitable. Only problem we had was we couldn't decide which wines and bubbles we liked the most so ended up buying a mixed dozen (which isn't recommended space wise when in a tight campervan)! 🤣 Loved the experience and highly recommend!! 👍

We visited Angullong yesterday and it’s become one of my favourite wineries in Orange region. All the wines we tasted were amazing and the hospitality was exceptional. We enjoyed learning about the family history as much as the wine. Highly recommend and would love to come back soon!

We recently visited Angullong wines as a group of 8. The two wonderful ladies were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here, the wines were simply amazing and they were thorough with the tasting. We would recommend them 10 times over. If you are visiting the orange region, you must visit Angullong.

Spent a few days in Millthorpe and had a wonderful wine tasting experience at the Angullong cellar door. Kate was a brilliant host and the wines were excellent. Their newly released Marsanne was a standout for us.

We loved the wine tasting at Angullong. Shayne looked after us and she is so Knowledgeable and charming (she even remembered us from months before). Make sure you book online and have plenty of time for tasting. They are so generous here and there are about 20 wines to try. I especially loved their reserve Shiraz, late harvest Riesling and Pinot Grigio (and walked away with a number of the reserve and late harvest - I still have last year's Pinot Grigio). They have all price and palate points covered, I highly recommend going to angullong.

Cook Park is an easy 10-minute walk west of the Orange CBD via Summer or Kite Streets. Cook Park embodies the seasonal colours of Orange all year round. Summer's arrival brings gardens of stunning and vibrant coloured roses. From February to April, hundreds of begonias bloom in the 'Blowes Conservatory', and in Spring, a burst of colour arrives with masses of tulips and daffodils. A great picnic spot as well with ample playing areas.

Beautiful park for a relaxing day out! The scenic walking paths wind through plenty of gorgeous spots, with lots to see along the way. There are toilets and plenty of rest areas, plus a great playground if you’ve got kids in tow. The highlight for me was the group of friendly ducks who decided to follow me for part of the walk, absolute charmers! A lovely place to spend an afternoon.

Beautiful. Such an evocative old world type of park. Interesting old aviary. The greenhouse area unfortunately was closed

Beautiful park with huge trees, a duck pond, plenty of seating and gorgeous shrubs

Large park with lots of seating. A pond with ducks even, huge trees to marvel at also Flowers in winter mode but one can see potential. Greenhouses not in operation. Handy arts and craft store. Purchased a phone/ipad style mount. Works a treat. Enjoyable stop with walk around. Lots of street parking mid afternoon. Bit cool this time of the year but nonetheless worth the effort.

This is a historical park here in Orange and is a must visit. I will be returning many times as the park and its beauty changes daily. There is so much wonder and history to enjoy and be amazed by . Orange is known for its seasons, and this park is a fabulous place to partake and enjoy nature in all its glory. Add this to your daily walks or at least a weekly visit as this garden awakes from its winter slumber.

One of the best spots in Orange! Beautiful gardens, peaceful atmosphere, and perfect for a relaxing stroll or picnic. Always a favourite.

The Orange botanic gardens are well set out, with wheelchair access. The trees' leaves are putting on a magnificent colour display for autumn. Not far up the road along the highway Molong a lovely art display on water tanks for our pleasure to enjoy.

Orange Botanic Gardens in NSW is a peaceful retreat, especially during autumn when the trees burst into brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow. The crisp air, wandering ducks, and occasional bunnies make the visit even more delightful. A perfect place for a slow walk, family time, or quiet reflection.

A beautiful spot in Orange for a stroll. The frogs were out in abundance after the rain, early spring colour and the smells of the Australian bush wafting over the rolling hills. You get the idea. Well worth an hour to explore the different species of plants and environments.

Beautiful gardens which are very well maintained. We did a slow wander around the walking paths and followed the map available in a brochure available at the main gate entrance. Cherry blossom was in bloom when we were there two days ago.

I came in July - Winter. Beautiful grass covered in morning snow ❄️, decorated with trees and water. What a sight! Tons of free parking as well.

Excellent place to walk and get close to nature. Large walking path all the way around.

Great garden, plenty of parking, great park, good areas for food, plenty of bins, can easily take pram, dog friendly

A true icon and amazing destination for not only car racing fans. The views are beautiful, especially on a clear winter morning with the low cloud across parts of the town. Everyone you speak to on the mountain has a smile on their face. The walk is awesome and a great heart starter before jumping back in the car for a 3 hour drive. Thoroughly recommend the visit.

One of the all time greatest experiences of a life time. All fans of motorsport need to go to Mt Panorama, Bathurst at least once in your life. Awesome!

Finally made it to Mount Panorama, and wow, what an experience! Even when there’s no race on, just driving the circuit at normal speed gives you chills. The elevation changes, the sharp turns, the views over Bathurst… it’s unreal to imagine the pros flying through it at full speed. I stopped a few times to take in the scenery and honestly, every corner has history written all over it. The National Motor Racing Museum nearby is also worth the visit. So much passion and heritage packed into one place. Whether you’re into motorsport or just love a scenic drive with serious Aussie character, Mount Panorama is a must-visit. I left with a full heart, a phone full of photos, and a huge smile. Can’t wait to go back! 🏁🇦🇺

It was interesting to have a look at the track and get an idea of what it's like to drive around. Speed limit is 60 can't imagine the speed the drivers do and in terrible weather conditions like this year. They are crazy or very brave

Nice track to drive for a taste of the car race even at 60km/h. The view at top of the mountain is wonderful

The vintage motor car museum collection was really nice to see. The beautifully preserved cars and classic designs made it an enjoyable and nostalgic experience.

Ita the best place ever. Bathurst 1000 is the greatest event.
