Mountains gardens and fresh produce
Even though the gardens at Balmoral House are among the most beautiful you will ever see, there
are dozens of other gardens in the local region worthy of an extended visit:
Breenhold: The unique heritage listed Garden Estate of Breenhold
at Mount Wilson is one of the most extensive privately owned garden properties in Australia. Breenhold Gardens comprises
45 hectares of luxuriant gardens, parkland and native bushland. Over the past 40 years several thousand exotic and indigenous
trees and flowering shrubs have been planted. Open days are in Autumn and Spring.
- Logan Brae Orchard
From January to August, you can enjoy any of the 15 apple varieties they grow at this century-old orchard. Their apple
juice, apple jelly and apple blossom honey are local favourites. (Shipley Rd via Blackheath, Shipley (02) 4787 8440)
