When to visit

The best time to visit Oberon is during the spring months of September to November when the weather is mild and the countryside is in full bloom. Summer (December to February) can also be a great time to visit for outdoor activities like hiking and camping. Autumn (March to May) offers beautiful foliage and cooler temperatures, while winter (June to August) is perfect for snow sports in the nearby Blue Mountains.

Getting around

Oberon is a small town that can easily be explored on foot, especially the main street where most shops and restaurants are located. For attractions outside of town, such as the Jenolan Caves or Lake Oberon, a car is recommended. There are also local tour operators that offer guided tours to popular destinations in the area. Public transportation options are limited, so having your own vehicle is the most convenient way to get around.

Traveller tips

Pack layers of clothing when visiting Oberon, as the weather can change quickly, especially in the mountains. Make sure to bring comfortable walking shoes for exploring the town and surrounding nature reserves. Don't forget to try the local produce, such as Oberon potatoes and cool-climate wines. Keep an eye out for wildlife like kangaroos and wallabies when hiking or driving in the area. Lastly, be respectful of the environment and follow any guidelines for conservation and sustainability.
