Slices of Orange Cycle Tour — AllTrails Bicycle Tours

Starting and finishing in Orange, this tour slices Central West NSW into bite size pieces for you to enjoy and savour.

From the slopes of the Central Tablelands to the western flats, you’ll find delicious produce, excellent wine and fascinating stories. Here, the unique and classic ‘country Australia’ vibe blends perfectly with the modern day, as an abundance of local produce has given rise to award winning wineries and vibrant ‘foodie scene’, which in turn have created thriving communities. Here you will discover the locations of compelling stories etched into Australian folklore such as the outlaw ‘Ben Hall’, ‘The Dish’ at Parkes Observatory, the history and heritage of Forbes and the ‘Cowra Breakout’. You may also learn of a few new stories, like those behind the building of Cowra’s famed Japanese Gardens (see pic below). On the Orange Central West, every slice tells another tale.
