 Australia’s best-kept secret spot has just been named in the Australian Traveller Magazine Readers’ Choice Awards.
Wait! Turns out they couldn’t decide on just one winner, instead it’s a tie between the Mudgee region and Orange, both located in New South Wales.
According to Australian Traveller, they are both gorgeous towns that are “all too often overlooked for NSW’s more obvious gems”.
Mudgee, which is nestled away approximately 3.5 hours drive from Sydney, is apparently the ultimate weekend escape. Nearby Gulgong, Kandos and Rylstone are also part of the broader Mudgee region, where travellers flock to in their hunt for great food, wine, art and sightseeing options.
