Pick up a coffee and a pastry from The Quirindi Coffee Pot. It is open until 2PM on weekdays, so you have plenty of time to settle in before the evening rush.

Quirindi Historical Cottage and Museum
Walk to the Quirindi Historical Cottage and Museum. It sits opposite the railway station. Use this quiet time to browse the photographs and records of local history before the light changes.
16:37
Head to Who'd A Thought It Lookout. The 26-minute walk from the museum takes you southwest. Arrive with enough time to find your spot for the 360-degree view of the plains and the Great Dividing Range.
17:37
Watch the sun set toward the west. The sky will darken over the Liverpool Plains, offering a clear view of the horizon.
18:22
End your evening at Bell Park. It is a short walk north from the lookout, providing a peaceful place to unwind as the stars come out.
Local tip
The walk between the museum and the lookout is the longest part of this route. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light layer as it gets cool after sunset.
