With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Orange, 40 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Orange Botanic Gardens, Orange Civic Theatre and Orange City Library. Don’t forget about Blackheath either! Just 45 miles away, Leura Mall, Leura Cascades and Blackheath Golf Course are essential stops here.
