The Trail

Highlight – the people you meet over a cuppa and home-made fare

Personally hosted mornings teas, lunches or afternoon teas on local farms or a rural village are a unique and memorable feature of the Central West Cycle Trail. Hundreds of cyclists have enjoyed the home-made foods and insight to country living provided by these pre-booked visits. Bookings a must because there are farms to be run, teaching and landcare to be attended to, and the mail to be sorted.
