On to Orange

The Orange area in a fertile valley at the base of Mt Canobolas (an extinct volcano).  The place was first settled in the 1850s and they continue to grow all sorts of fruit, wine and other produce as well as dairy.
We decided on a walk around the area including the well established Botanic Garden.

We also decided on the Federal Falls Walk on Mt Canobolas.  The walk was nearly bigger than we were.

As it turned out, the Falls were more of a drip!

Climbing down and then up some of the 60 degree trails meant that provided we could avoid heart attacks, we were always going to sleep well that night.

However the Mount offered spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
