Apple Road Trip to Bilpin


Anyone know where Bilpin is?
For those who never heard of it. It’s a small town in NSW famous for apples. J
We went to Bilpin in the mid of winter season and gosh it was freeezeeeing!! But, we layered up and with lots of determination off we went to Bilpin.


This is me eating apple right off the tree. They’re green apples but super sweet. Not sour at all.
Oh! And it was drizzling as well that time, but we continued on. They have a few different apples, but I like the granny smith most of all. We saw lemon trees as well and a few of berries plants, but they’re not ready to be harvested yet.

We stopped over at Bilpin Botanical Garden at Mount Tomah and it is probably the smallest botanical garden I’ve ever been to. J But they’re okay I guess. A little bit more maintenance will do more justice to the place.
I particularly love this setting of succulents and dry land area.


Continuing our journey, we visited Leura shopping village and it’s the cutest little town. And it was so foggy, we couldn’t take proper photos of the place. But it was a beautiful place, it’s just our photos don’t do justice.

That night we had dinner at this truly amazing place in Leura, The Garage, or Leura Garage the local call it. The food is really really good. Amazing! We didn’t try the pizza, apparently it’s famous for its pizzas. But the stuffed quail was so delicious.

Next day, it was still foggy. J Really lovely weather…
We walked a little bit up the national park. It was really cold that day. I should’ve brought my gloves with me. We didn’t expect the temperature to drop that low. I think it was 6-8 C degrees that morning.


And then we start our journey back to Sydney. Crawl ourselves in traffic, while remembering the yummy taste of fresh picked apples. Splendid! Can’t wait to go back there!
