Gosling Creek Reserve

South of Orange, along Forest Road is Gosling Creek Reserve, an environmentally based recreational facility. The Reserve offers open spaces, picnic areas, barbecues, walking/cycling/rollerblading pathways and play equipment, great for climbing, spinning and balancing! Gosling Creek Reserve has been reclaimed from a pine plantation and is currently part of a regeneration program. Visitors will note a variety of native vegetation and a bird hide with two viewing platforms (one overlooks the reservoir and the other overlooks a wetland). The reservoir is regularly stocked with Golden Perch (Yellow Belly) and Trout for fishing, which is permitted from the foreshores. NSW fisheries regulations apply. Due to the wildlife in the area, dogs (including dogs on leashes) are not permitted in the Gosling Creek Reserve. The nearby Bloomfield Park includes a leash-free area for dogs. All of these popular areas can be accessed from the city via a shared cycle/pedestrian path.

In Stillness - Engelman and Anderson

In Stillness brings together two very different artistic voices, Joy Engelman and Chris Anderson, united by a shared love of the Australian landscape and the quiet moments found within it. For both artists, the landscape is about so much more than what we see. It's about the feeling of being there — the light shifting across the mountains, the vastness of the outback, the textures, colours and marks left behind by time, weather and water. Chris captures the atmosphere and changing light of the local and outback terrain, while Joy draws on more than five decades of journeys through the arid heart of Australia, translating her deep connection to country through painting and photography. Together, their work invites us to slow down, take a breath and really look. To leave the noise of everyday life behind for a moment and become completely immersed in the stillness, beauty and quiet power of the Australian landscape. Two artists. Two perspectives. One shared feeling.

Cook Park

Cook Park embodies the seasonal colours of Orange all year round. Summer's arrival brings gardens of stunning and vibrant coloured roses. From February to April, hundreds of begonias bloom in the 'Blowes Conservatory', and in Spring, a burst of colour arrives with masses of tulips and daffodils. This 4.5-hectare parkland in the heart of Orange is named after Captain James Cook and was originally laid out in a traditional Victorian design in 1873, with straight paths and rows of trees. Much of the original design is still in place. This National Trust area is also home to duck ponds, swings (for kids), an aviary featuring predominantly native birdlife (for bird watchers), the peaceful Lattice Fernery and for the craft lover, there is the Cook Park Guildry. The Guildry can be found in 'Bastick Cottage', a Victorian-style heritage building. Visitors will find a wide range of unique handcrafted goods, including pottery, knitting, woodwork, homemade jams and freshly baked goods. Cook Park is an easy 10-minute walk west of the Orange CBD via Summer or Kite Streets.
