Suggested duration 3 - 4 hours.

Follow the trail of ‘The Trek’. When the New South Wales government opened land for settling in the 1860s, many German families from South Australia ventured east to start farming and build communities. Our region’s colonial history has strong German links, and this self-driving tour celebrates the spirit of people creating a better life for themselves and the region as a whole.
