As with any great escape, we recommend avoiding peak travel periods, allowing a little extra time, and, if you can, adding an extra night to your stay. Because once you breathe in the fresh country air and experience the warmth and hospitality of regional NSW, you won’t want to leave.
Figuratively speaking, of course, the Central West is embracing the chill as winter approaches. There’s a crispness in the air, and while the temperatures have dropped, the last of those stunning autumn leaves are still clinging on, adding bursts of colour to the landscape.
Winter in the region offers plenty to explore, from inspiring art exhibitions and immersive truffle hunts to glowing fire festivals and, if you’re lucky, a light dusting of snow.
So head out west this season and discover something special.
