We had a lovely breakfast this morning at Bills Beans in East Orange with friends Craig and Kerry before driving out to explore more of what this region has to offer. Our destination was the historic township of Millthorpe.

To be honest it was a little disappointing. Don’t get me wrong it’s a pretty place with a lot of character, some interesting shops and an old railway station. It’s still worthy of a visit – especially for breakfast, lunch or a coffee at the Old Mill Cafe. And if you have a wander around keep your eyes open – you might spot the odd, and I mean odd, Emu or two.

Carcoar

Of more interest is the little town of Carcoar with its crumbling, rustic charm, wide roads, brick and timber buildings and museums.

A great place for photographers and those looking for a little nostalgia at the Capitol Theatre or stop for the night at the Royal Hotel especially with their ‘Reasonable Tariff’.
