Oberon
Return via the hairpin bends to the Oberon Road turn-off for another leisurely drive. Take time to discover the many pleasures of Oberon - fresh mountain air, wilderness bush, mountain streams teeming with trout, towering pine forests, fossicking, mushroom-picking, horse riding, peaceful rural drives, Oberon Dam and of course - the daffodil and tulip fields.
In the early 19th century, along with the explorers, stock keepers and free settlers, Oberon was visited by Daruk and Wiradjuri Aboriginal groups. From 1818 on, an increasing number of settlers, many from Ireland, began grazing stock or growing vegetables and fruits. The village of Oberon, proclaimed in 1863, takes its name from the King of the Fairies in Shakespeare’s Midsummer Nights Dream. We now take a beautiful drive to Lithgow, via the lovely little rural villages of Tarana and Sodwalls, allowing plenty of time to fall in love with Lake Lyell - without doubt one of the region’s most beautiful places. |
