Taking you to more events from Grazing Down the Lachlan in 10 seconds
Grazing Down the Lachlan returns to Forbes, NSW on Saturday, 12th September 2026. Now in its sixth year, the multi-award-winning foodie adventure celebrates produce native to the Central West NSW region, prepared by local restaurateurs and caterers. What makes this dining experience truly unique is the underlying commitment to delivering a zero-waste, environmentally responsible event.
To minimise our impact on the natural environment, all guests ('grazers') are transported by bus to and from the event site. Before setting off, grazers are supplied with an event bag containing their cutlery, wine glass, drink bottle and lanyard, food and beverage tokens, napkin and site map. Upon arrival, grazers are Welcomed to Country and are then free to wander along the 2.5 kilometre bush track between six stations offering delicious food with a matched beverage.
Grazing Down the Lachlan promises a unique and immersive dining experience that celebrates local produce while prioritising sustainability and environmental responsibility. Don't miss out on this unforgettable culinary adventure in Forbes, NSW on 12th September 2026.
- Food: The ingredients for the mouth-watering menu are locally sourced, with an emphasis on indigenous ingredients. Although the caterers are unable to alter the menu for specific intolerances due to resource constraints, the ingredients will be listed on a blackboard at each station, allowing guests to make informed choices. However, for those with serious food allergies, cross-contamination cannot be guaranteed.
- Beverages: Our Creative Director has carefully selected a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for all six stations. Rainwater will also be available at each station for hydration. Please refrain from bringing your own alcohol.
- Transportation: All guests are transported to the event site by bus. No personal vehicles permitted on site. For accessible transport options, please get in touch via email - hello@grazingdownthelachlan.com.
- Facilities: Portable toilets, including accessible facilities, will be situated along the track for convenience. In case of any medical emergency, a doctor will be available along the track, and phone numbers for emergency assistance will be provided in the event bag. Additionally, a chill-out tent will be available for anyone in need of a little rest and relaxation.
- Enter at your own risk: GDTL, Forbes Shire Council, and Local Land Services are not responsible for any loss, injury, or damages sustained during the walk, whether caused by their negligence or otherwise. You enter the event knowingly and entirely at your own risk. We wish you an amazing adventure 'down the Lachlan', and appreciate the efforts of our Creative Director, volunteer committee, caterers, and beverage providores in building this event just for you. Enjoy!
- Children: This is an over 18 event. Sorry, folks, but no kids allowed. Enjoy a child-free day. Breastfed babies are welcome, of course!
- Dogs: Other than Guide Dogs, no dogs are allowed.
- Smoking policy: This is a non-smoking event.
- Tickets: Each ticket has its own unique bar code, which will be scanned before you receive your event bag containing your food and beverage tokens, prior to boarding the bus.
- Cancellation due to Government Restrictions: In the event of cancellation due to government restrictions, GDTL will endeavour to provide a refund if possible. Refunds will be calculated based on costs already incurred at the time of cancellation. The same conditions apply to ticket holders unable to attend due to a discrete Covid-19 lockdown or a legal requirement to isolate or stay at home during the event timeframe. Applications for refunds will be assessed and processed post-event. Please note that the MyGuestlist booking fee is non-refundable in any circumstance.
- Cancellation due to Adverse Weather Conditions: If weather conditions are deemed dangerous or unpleasant, GDTL may be cancelled. Unfortunately, in that situation, GDTL would still be liable for event expenses and does not offer refunds on ticket purchases. If weather conditions are fine but the event site is deemed unsuitable (e.g. walking track is too wet or damaged), GDTL will be transferred to an alternate location.
- Refund Policy: Tickets are non-refundable and not transferable.
