Boorowa is one of many rural towns across the gold trails region that invite you to take a short break and explore their surrounding goldfield and bushranger stories alongside their other rural heritage.
The best visit to the Gold Trails is one that sets off with a good idea of where you want to start, but no clear idea of where you want to end up.
The regions that are home to the gold trails sit in a landscape rich in both natural and cultural history, with many hidden places only the locals know about.
Accordingly the best way to discover these places for yourself is to talk to the locals in the course of your journey. Hence, be sure to make the visitor information centre your first port of call in town at the start of your short break.
You may well find your journey takes you to some unexpected places.
