Orange at Easter

We're spending the Easter holidays at Orange, a city in the central west area of NSW, about four hours drive west of Sydney. Orange's altitude means its climate is ideal for cool climate wines and great food. The nearby village of Millthorpe continues to develop as a boutique and antiques centre - this is one of the laneways in the village.
Its a great place to get away from city life for four days - raining now, but very peaceful. Visiting the rural areas of NSW makes you realise how city life forces its hectic pace on you, so its good to get away.
The autumn leaves are just starting to show and the chill in the evening air is quite exhilarating.
Back to the grind this week - but its been a good break.
