We want you back in Central NSW
Central NSW looks forward to welcoming back friends and relatives to our beautiful region. To help you plan your trip and give you inspiration, who better to ask than the locals? We’ve been on a road trip and interviewed 22 local tourism personalities to find out what they love about their home and gather their top tips on things to see, do and taste. These videos are a quick virtual trip into the Central NSW countryside and provide genuine inspiration on local food and wine experiences, boutique shops, places to stay, attractions, art and culture, nature and historic villages. Hear from accommodation hosts, a wine-maker, artist, foodie, milliner, event manager, fifth-generation farmer and shop owner. We can’t wait to share our stories and welcome you back.
