See Quaint Villages and Bucolic Scenery Along the Canola Trail

Abundant with golden fields and picturesque villages, the Riverina heartlands are a joy to behold. Taking in its most attractive ports of call, the Canola Trail is a triangular route that connects Temora, Junee and Coolamon, and is the best way to explore this mesmerising historic and agricultural region. Here’s what you can see and do along the way.

What is the Canola Trail?

Named after the sunny yellow canola crop that’s harvested in the region, the Canola Trail is a relaxing route that allows you to explore Riverina’s many delights at your own pace. Whether you want to take a leisurely day trip or make a weekend of it, the Canola Trail is brimming with alluring places and activities for a blissed-out road trip in the countryside.

To drive past the gorgeous golden canola fields at their peak, the best time to embark on the trip is August and September. At any time of year, you can still connect with Riverina’s food & drink, culture & heritage and natural landscapes.
