Discover the Riches Campaign



BACKGROUND
The Villages of Cabonne, namely Borenore, Canowindra, Cargo, Cudal, Cumnock, Eugowra, Manildra, Molong, Mullion Creek, Nashdale, Ophir and Yeoval, grew due to the natural riches our environment provided; rich fertile soils and rich in gold. As our communities evolved they have become rich in heritage, stories, people and lifestyle.

The Discover the Riches campaign will showcase our beautiful rich landscape and people enjoying a rich country experience. We are inviting people to Take a day, a week …. or a lifetime – to “Discover the Riches”.
