We enjoyed visiting the Sculptures Down the Lachlan - many huge and impressive sculptures. There were also sculptures around town and lovely gardens in the public parks. Forbes has many historic buildings, in good condition. You could go bird spotting, with hides built to give good views of masses of birds on Lake Forbes. We had dinner at Club Forbes, a function one night and the bistro the next. We also did a guided tour of the Aussie Biscuit factory in town, which provides employment for local people with disabilities and makes great biscuits!

Forbes has some lovely historic buildings , well worth a walk around. The Wetlands and bird hides are beautiful, a very picturesque and peaceful spot. The tourist information centre well worth the visit to see what else is in and around the town ( biscuit factory tours, sculptures by the Lachlan river etc). We really enjoyed our stopever here

They never spoke a word to us not once they never gave us toilet paper nor did they give us towels at the least customer service is a big thing you always offer people something but they spoke a word they never even said hello to us as we walked pass them numerous times throughout the day very poor customer service

Our accommodation at Appleyard B&B Forbes was excellent, well presented and very helpful people our visit was too short, we were en route to Mildura, we would like to return one day and take in more of the Forbes area, and would stay at Appleyard B&B we would definitely recommend this accommodation.

The Sculptures down the Lachlan were spectacular. The McFeeter's Motor Museum is worth a visit. The cafe at the Visitor's Centre is very good and the meals at the Hotel Forbes were very good in taste and value.

I'd recommend Forbes to anybody who likes country towns, it is one of the best I have visited. Nice lake in the middle of the town. Good for dogs and bird watchers as Gum Swamp is dog friendly and has an abundance of birds.
