    Pick up a coffee and a pastry from Westland Supermarket. It opens at 07:00 on weekdays and 07:00 on weekends, so you can grab your supplies early and head out while the air is still cool.

    Narrabri Lake

    Walk to Narrabri Lake. The lake is a reclaimed swamp that now serves as a recreational playground. With your breakfast in hand, take the 3km walking track around the perimeter. It is an excellent spot for birdwatching, particularly for spotting swans gliding on the water.

    Dangar Park

    Stop at Dangar Park. Located just 7 minutes from the lake, this is a short, easy walk. It offers a quiet green space to sit and digest your breakfast while watching the lake activity from a slightly different vantage point.

    Watson's Kitchen

    End your morning at Watson's Kitchen. This bakery and cafe is located near Cameron Park, about a 7-minute walk from the general area. It is open until 17:00 on weekdays and 12:00 on Saturdays, making it a perfect spot for a proper sit-down lunch or a final coffee before you head home.

Local tip
