Young's Cherry Festival and beyond!
By National Travel
Say goodbye to city life and travel on the open road through picturesque country towns featuring a smorgasbord of delicious fruits, chocolate, and the juiciest cherries you will taste. Welcome to Young, known as the cherry capital of Australia. Young's Cherry Festival begins in December, transforming, the town into a cherry hoedown. The streets come alive with a celebration of local cuisine, dancing, music, and the famous cherry pit spitting competition.
Beyond Young venture out to the townships of Cowra, home of the famous Cowra breakout where you can also visit the internationally-renowned Japanese Gardens. As a bonus, visit Temora and Cootamundra. The charming country town of Cootamundra, in the beautiful Riverina, is best known for being the birthplace of Sir Donald Bradman. Temora has a rich history—the gold rush and aviation fighter jets. Both heritage towns have plenty to offer with friendly locals ready to welcome you.
Our adventure would not be complete without a visit to Junee, known for its mouth-watering chocolate tours and heritage streetscapes. Junee will tantalise your tastebuds with local treats and sweets. Let 2021 be your year to join National Seniors Travel on a Cherry Festival tour!
