Visiting Upper Lachlan

Our climate & landscape

Riding high on the top of the Great Dividing Range (914 m above sea level), Upper Lachlan Shire experiences the seasons in all their glory. Autumn blazes with fiery oranges, brilliant golden yellows and deep ruby reds. Falling leaves shower the roads and countryside with their fading glory. Winter introduces you to rolling hills blanketed in white powdery snow and the perfect excuse to snuggle up next to a roaring log fire. Spring heralds the arrival of warmer times with masses of exquisite blossoms, bulbs and flowers of every description, while a gentle summer allows you to escape the harsh heat and humidity of coastal regions.

The climate ranges from (-2 to 35c) with some snow falls each year.

Rainfall ranges from 530mm to 630mm per year. This rainfall is generally spread evenly throughout the year.
