As Orange was being developed in the 1860s this 4.5-hectare plot was set aside as a public reserve. This space was drained and landscaped, and trees acquired from the Sydney Botanical Gardens were planted in 1878, while the ornamental lake followed in 1880. Cook Park brims with history, at Bastick Cottage (1887), the Band Rotunda (1908), the Blowes...
Another of the best places to see the spellbinding autumn colours in Orange is the Botanic Gardens, opened for Australia’s bicentenary in 1988. There’s a 50-50 divide between native and exotic plantings here, and around a third of all the specimens are labelled. In the gardens’ special collections are heritage roses and the plants of the Central Ta...
Almost overnight, Orange has emerged as a formidable cool-climate wine region. This has a lot to do with the fecund volcanic soils, moderately warm summer highs, undulating landscape and consistent breezes that keep spring frosts at bay. As well as being very productive, this wine country is incredibly pretty and understandably attracts a lot of to...
The natural landmark that defines Orange’s cityscape is Mount Canobolas, rising to 1,395 metres in the immediate south-west. It’s mind-boggling to think that is the highest peak between the Blue Mountains and the Indian Ocean, several thousand miles to the west. Cloaked with vegetation, Mount Canobolas is an extinct volcano, and its fertile volcani...
Right next to the regional gallery is this stylish museum building opened in 2017, appearing to emerge from the ground and topped with an environmentally-friendly grass roof. Exhibitions at the Orange Regional Museum are updated at short intervals, but are sourced from a large collection that covers Aboriginal culture and history, 19th-century gold...

You can pick up a leaflet for the Orange Heritage Trail from the Visitor Information Centre, setting off up Byng Street for a 90-minute trip back in time. The route is ...
At the time of writing in May 2020 Orange’s esteemed regional art gallery was temporarily closed for a $4m redevelopment and scheduled to reopen in 2021. The project entails an extension, which will give it a light-flooded exhibition space, conservation areas and a lecture theatre. In the meantime the museum’s collection has grown to more than 1,50...
On the east side of Mount Canobolas there’s a majestic overlook just ten minutes by car from the centre of Orange. From the car park there’s a short but vertiginous climb, up more than 200 steps. But the trees lining the trail offer lots of cover from the sun, the constant birdsong is lovely, and you’ll know why you made the effort once you reach t...
Below the north slopes of Mount Canobolas sit the glistening waters of Lake Canobolas, a reservoir supplying water to Orange for the first half of the 20th century. In the 1970s the lake was turned into a leisure destination and is a relaxing spot for a wander, having a picnic, barbecue or doing some fishing. Make sure to watch the water as it’s no...
At this rugged but tranquil reserve on the Summer Hill and Lewis Ponds you’ll encounter real Australian history. In 1851, what is now Ophir Reserve was the first place where gold of any real quantity was discovered in Australia, helping to establish Orange as a permanent settlement. The gold supply didn’t last, and the panners had moved on in less ...
