OBERON & MAYFIELD GARDEN

Although each season has its own special charm, Spring is particularly beautiful with the mountains exploding in a symphony of colour.   We will spend a leisurely 3 days taking in many of the spectacular gardens of the region as well as exploring its fascinating towns and villages.  Oberon is an interesting town surrounded by state forests and rich grazing country.  
A highlight of the tour will be the amazing Mayfield Garden, one of the largest cool climate gardens in the world.  It is beautifully designed with manicured lawns, a rose walk, a rhododendron walk, a maze, a croquet lawn, parterre garden, aviary, conservatorium, orchard, vegetable garden, water garden, obelisk, chapel and many more treasures at every turn.  
 We will travel to Oberon on the Bells Line of Road to Mt Tomah Botanic Gardens where we will enjoy a picnic lunch before continuing on to Mt Wilson.  Our return will see us travel over the Great Western Highway taking in all the spring colour on offer at Leura and Blackheath, which is a delight with the Rhododendrons in bloom.  
Our accommodation is at the Big Trout Motor Inn at Oberon and our host, will guide us through the region on roads less travelled.  At an elevation of over 1,100 metres, you will feel Oberon’s crisp cool air doing you good with every breath!
