Autumn is the perfect time of year for a holiday or day trip to Nundle and Hanging Rock.
The temperatures starting to cool down and the red, orange and yellow autumn colour on the deciduous trees is spectacular.
Sunsets are earlier and it’s still warn enough of an evening to sit outside and watch the sun go down.
