Discover the Magic of Autumn in Warrumbungle Shire

Published on 21 March 2025

As the weather cools and autumn settles in, the Warrumbungle Shire Council is inviting residents and visitors to embrace the season and explore the region’s natural beauty. With the transition from summer's heat to crisp, cooler days, autumn is the perfect time to enjoy hiking, bushwalking, camping, and local events.

“The cooler temperatures and stunning landscapes make autumn a fantastic time to get outside and explore,” said Warrumbungle Shire Council Mayor, Councillor Kathryn Rindfleish. “The vibrant colours of the season, combined with our region’s natural beauty, provide an ideal setting for outdoor activities and photography.”

Warrumbungle National Park, Pilliga Forest, and Coolah Tops offer great opportunities for hiking and camping, with the added bonus of capturing breathtaking autumn colours. Local township parks also provide tranquil spots for relaxation and nature appreciation.

“With the weather cooling down, we’re also seeing a rise in local events,” said Cr Rindfleish. “This is a great time for the community to come together and participate in various activities. We encourage everyone to take part in the local events happening throughout the season, as it’s a wonderful opportunity for community engagement and fun.”

For those planning outdoor adventures, the Warrumbungle Shire Council encourages everyone to make the most of the milder temperatures before winter sets in. Whether it's hiking through the scenic parks or attending one of the many local events, there's no better time to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Residents and visitors alike are urged to stay updated on upcoming activities by keeping an eye on social media, community noticeboards, and local newspapers.
