Introducing Central West
Stretching 400km inland from the Blue Mountains, NSW’s central west gradually shifts from rolling agricultural heartland into vast plains and finally the harsher outback soil of the far west. It was gold that began this region, and its legacy lingers in the fascinating towns throughout. Steeped in bushranger and gold-rush history, they’re lined with stately buildings, parks, and vivid and well-tended English gardens.

These days the region is all 21st-century agribusiness, and it has consequently developed into something of a foodie centre. Having cultivated their own atmosphere, the diverse towns are destinations in themselves: choose from the university city of Bathurst, the public-service enclave of Orange, the thrusting new small businesses of Mudgee, tourist towns like Wellington and Parkes, and Dubbo with its Western Plains Zoo.
