Sealed Road Scenic Drives or Adventurous Off-Road 4WD Trails

Acquire a good map and venture out into the region. Discover some of the most picturesque scenery found anywhere else in NSW. Take in historic villages, country pubs and cafes, farmers markets, galleries and wine tasting at unique cool climate vineyards.

Worth the journey is a drive out onto the historic Oberon-Colong stock route where you will find the hidden gem of Yerranderie. This restored old silver mining ghost town offers accommodation and bush camping at its best. Share your camp with curious wildlife, take a tour of the town and quaint museum, see relics of the silver mine and learn about Yerranderie’s fascinating pioneering history. Sixty hectic years between the 1890’s and the 1950’s contrast strongly with its sleepy serenity of today. A truly gracious unhurried place set in an unspoiled world of high sandstone mesas and deep valleys.
