Forbes 'historic' town offering 'modern' lifestyle

The township of Forbes, situated on the Newell Highway and on the banks of the Lachlan River in the heart of the rich Lachlan Valley, is fast becoming popular with those seeking a ‘tree-change’; drawn to the region by economic benefit and lifestyle opportunities.

Central to Forbes' identity is tranquil Lake Forbes, the town’s centrepiece; with families enjoying use of its cycle and walkways, BBQ facilities, playgrounds and amenities.

Forbes’ unique culture is a fusion of heritage past and modern lifestyle, with art & craft, art galleries, boutique shopping, concerts, distinctive local dining options, historical hotels & museums, a diversity of special interest groups, great schools, affordable real estate, plus an exciting local events calendar featuring annual festivals dedicated to jazz, camel racing, picnic racing, the bushranger Ben Hall, heritage conservation and more.
