Hi All

This coming week I have to take a drive for work purposes to Mudgee/Orange/Dubbo.
I was curious if anybody knows of any nurserys that are worth a look in the region?

I would be keen to find some hawthorns/crab apples and any other species that are hard to come across in Sydney.
I have noticed on previous trips that hawthorns seem to everywhere even in the streets of Oange.

Cheers

Thompson and Windy hill are worth a look in Orange
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

There is a nursery on the outskirts of bathurst or orange (sorry can't remember but I think Bathurst) that is closing down so may be able to pick up some good cheap stock.
It's on the great western highway, on the "Sydney" side of town

There's a Forestry Commission nursery at Dubbo that might be worth a look for Western Plains natives.
