Item 2 · Sunrise to Orange: A Golden Country Weekend

Follow the Canola Trail in full bloom during the 2027 canola season, then wind down with two nights in Orange, one of NSW's best food and wine towns. Day 1: Temora Start at the Temora Aviation Museum, home to one of the world's finest collections of flying historic aircraft. Climb into one of its full-motion warbird flight simulators: a Spitfire, a P-51 Mustang or a P-40 Kittyhawk. No flying experience is needed, and an instructor guides you from briefing to landing. https://www.aviationmuseum.com.au/visitor-information/admission-bookings Spend the night at Harberton House, the restored Edwardian residence of Temora's old Union Bank manager on the town's heritage main street. Your king ensuite room has high ceilings and crisp linen, and there's a sunny private courtyard for a glass of wine under country stars. Cafes and pubs are a short walk away.
