• Fancy a laugh? Then Grapes of Mirth in Orange is a must! Grab a picnic blanket and enjoy an epic night of top notch comedy, food, wine & music.
   
• Bushwalk for days, and camp under the stars in the Warrumbungle National Park – free from artificial light, this national park is an ideal destination to escape and switch off. You’ll find plenty of memorable stargazing opportunities out in nature or at Australia’s largest optical telescope at the Siding Spring Observatory.
   
• Live music more your vibe? Can’t go past a road trip to Forbes for Vanfest, a legendary two-day music festival complete with market stalls, pop-up beach bars, thrilling rides, camping, VIP experiences, and much more.
