Central NSW, New South Wales
From the gold rush towns of Sofala and Hill End to remote sheep stations, Central NSW provides the visitor with an unforgettable bush experience - where history comes alive b
efore your very eyes.
The region's history can be read in its architecture - from humble slab huts to the lavish hotels and mansions built during gold and farming booms. Places such as Gulgong, Op
hir and Sofala are a window on our pioneering past.
But Central NSW doesn't stop there. After a day exploring the wide open spaces you can sample the superb food, wine and hospitality of the region particularly in the Cowra-Or
ange-Mudgee district.
Central NSW offers a diverse range of discovery-type experiences, a highlight of which is the famous Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo.
There are 14 National Parks and nature reserves to discover - including Wollemi National Park in the south to the Warrumbungles in the north - and many opportunities to explo
re underground at Abercrombie Caves and the Wellington Caves and Phosphate Mine.
For an experience of a different kind discover space and learn about astronomy at any of the six observatories in the region - Siding Springs and Skywatch near Coonabarabran,
Darby Falls near Cowra, Gilgandra, Dubbo and the Radio Telescope at Parkes.
Discover the Romance of the Bush in Central NSW.

Sydney Observatory images of the Moon
Video of the Moon and Saturn. Oops, seems I should study my video more carefully! The flooded crater I named as Aristillus is in fact Archimedes which is 83km wide and 2150m deep. I will be more careful next time :(

Riverfront Property on the Whitewater Nantahala River
For available inventory vist: fre.com/280G11
This online auction is for a premium residential homesite on the Nantahala Whitewater River in the Mystic River Village community of Mystic Lands. The property includes a river cabin with one bedroom, one bathroom and sleeps four. The cabin was built in the early 1970's prior to the current 25-foot building setback requirement. Part of the cabin is literally over the bank of the river, so you can fish from the deck if you choose or watch the whitewater rafters float by just a few feet away. It has been grandfathered in for a new home to be built close to the River, within the 25-foot buffer zone.
