Tarana
STOP HERE FOR RAILWAY HISTORY, BUSHWALKS, MARKETS AND MORE. Nestled in the picturesque valleys of the Central West, a 40-minute drive east of Bathurst, Tarana is a treat for outdoor adventurers who love hiking, rock climbing, fishing and nature.
Railway history buffs will adore the Tarana railway station complex. Built in the Victorian era, the station, along with several other features have all been pristinely preserved. Tarana station is still serviced by several trains a day. The train will only stop if passengers are pre-booked to board or alight here. Visit transportnsw.info to plan your trip.
Evans Crown Nature Reserve
The hike to the top takes around 30 minutes along a medium grade, well-formed track. The views are well worth the effort! You'll feel small wandering among giant granite boulders, or 'tors'.
Flat Rock Picnic Area
Bathurst's version of the beach, you will often find locals coming here on hot days for a cool off in the Fish River. Limited facilities and unpatrolled so always exercise caution.
Tarana Hotel
Grab the famous 'Tarana Tiger Burger' and relax in front of the wood fire inside in the cooler months, or in the sunny beer garden when it's warm, with some of the best pub views in the country!
Tarana Farmers Market
Home to fresh produce, eclectic stalls and local music, Tarana Community Farmers' Market is held on the 4th Sunday of every month from 9am to 1pm.
