Learn about the pioneering years through innovative museums, attractions and exhibitions. Discover the essence of the Outback and its people, woven into the rich tapestry that is 'Matilda country'. The Central West is also the perfect place to enjoy some traditional bush tucker around the campfire and be entertained with yarns of glory days.
