The region as a whole is famous for being a destination for food andwinelovers, and provides an ample amount of outdoor experiences. Here, you’ll experience sweeping vistas of dry, barren land and flat plains that seem to stretch out to eternity. It’salandscapeunlike any other, and one you have to see to believe.
Perhaps the most indicative part of the Riverina’s foodie experience is the abundance of farmers markets scattered throughout the region. You’ll be able to experience the authentic tastes of the country, with paddock to plate flavours, straight from the cellar door wines and live music to round everything out.

As well as this, you can discover the significant Aboriginal heritage of the land around you with Bundyi Cultural Tours, located in nearby Wagga Wagga.

Here, you’ll be swept away with stories of the Dreamtime.
