    Roxy Cinema complex

    Walk to the Roxy Cinema complex. This 1936 building houses a museum to Greek history in New South Wales and a live performance centre. The cafe inside is open, so you can grab a coffee or just admire the restored architecture while waiting for the light to change.

    Eli Brown Park

    Head to Eli Brown Park. It is a short walk from the Roxy and offers a quiet spot to watch the sun set toward the W. The park is only 6 minutes on foot from the cinema, making it a perfect, low-effort viewing spot.

    Bingara RSL Memorial Park

    Stroll back toward the town centre to Bingara RSL Memorial Park. It is just a 4-minute walk from the Roxy area. Use this time to reflect on the history of the town and the golden hour you just witnessed.
