Stay and dine

Journey through history, a tantalizing array of food and wine experiences, spectacular landscapes and some exciting and award-winning attractions on the Riverina’s Canola Trail, taking in the shires of Coolamon, Junee and Temora.

Located just north of Wagga Wagga and two hours from Canberra, the Canola Trail allows you to ease into relaxation mode as you explore (and indulge!) at your own pace. From the beginnings of the rail and agricultural industry to the thriving area the region is today, the trail will immerse you in the story of each shire and its people. Follow the trail through the charming towns and quaint villages, overflowing with hidden gems that are waiting to be found. Discover the delectable delights of Ajanta Cafe, Junee Licorice and Chocolate Factory and the Junee Farmers Market. Be ‘transported’ back in time at the Temora Aviation Museum, Temora Railway Precinct and Junee Railway Roundhouse. Enjoy the great outdoors at Temora’s Lake Centenary or stay overnight at the Coolamon Caravan Park. Experience history at the Coolamon Up-to-Date Store, Coolamon Fire Museum and Junee’s Broadway Museum. Uncover treasures galore in the many boutique stores and collectible shops along the way - plus so much more! The Canola Trail can be travelled in a day, or take your time and stay a while. The Canola Trail boasts a wide variety of accommodation options, including caravan parks and freedom camps, farm stays, quaint B&Bs, well-appointed motels and traditional pubs.
