Chi. Explores
Some of the best places aren't the ones you'll find at the top of a Google search.
Chi. Explores is where we share the cafés, restaurants, walks, shops, experiences and hidden gems worth knowing about across the Central West – recommended by the women who know the region best.
The places you'd tell a friend about.
Lost City Walking Track, Lithgow
A short return walk in the Gardens of Stone, just outside Lithgow. It’s close to town, easy to reach, clearly marked, and doesn’t require much planning beyond comfortable shoes and a drink bottle.
John Cousins Walking Track, Bathurst
Good for kids, good for beginners, good for dogs, and very good for a Tuesday morning!
Golden Poplars, Meadow Flat
Tall, elegant trees, deep amber light, and the kind of scene that makes you pull over and just stand there for a moment.
Know somewhere we should explore?
A café that gets the coffee right. A restaurant you keep returning to. A local favourite that's somehow stayed under the radar.
Tell us about it. We’d love to explore it.
