ORANGE & THE GOLDEN WEST

Orange - Australia's colour city offers a diverse range of wonderful attractions and four very different seasons ensure your visit wil be a little different each time, with each season having its own special charm. Canobolas, an extinct volcano, towers over Orange and the Cabonne country surveying its legacy of fertility. The area has a fine reputation as a food bowl with grain fed beef, fat lambs, grapes, apples, cherries, stone fruit, berries, nuts and vegetables all produced in abundance.

Orange today is a sophisticated and prosperous city with a history dating back to the very first gold rush and many fine heritage buildings. It is also the perfect base to explore the many fascinating towns like Cowra, Canowindra, Carcoar, Ophir and Millthorpe which all make Orange such a great destination. Our tour has been designed to allow a leisurely pace so that we can truly appreciate all the region has to offer.
