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.
The Beekeepers Inn, Vittoria
Love the location – the live bee display, free honey tasting, the shop, antiques, and genuinely great food and coffee. And of course, the geese!
Ironbark Espresso Bar, Blayney
Ironbark is Blayney’s steady espresso spot – simple, welcoming, and built around great coffee and standout pastries.
ImmerCity VR, Orange
ImmerCity VR in Orange is one of those places that flips your expectations the second you step inside.
Ly Café, Bathurst
A small café with a mighty presence – Ly Café brings warmth, kindness and community into one heartfelt space.
John Cousins Walking Track, Bathurst
Good for kids, good for beginners, good for dogs, and very good for a Tuesday morning!
Reckless Brewing, Bathurst
With that unmistakable Bathurst buzz – lively, warm, and instantly welcoming.
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.
