The highest town in the Blue Mountains region and some 30 km from the world-renowned Jenolan Caves. Oberon supports a strong rural community producing lambs, beef cattle and a wide range of vegetables. It is particularly delightful in spring, when the appearance of bulbs and colourful wildflowers joyfully greet the season.
The traditional owners of the land where Oberon now stands were the Wiradjuri people. Settlement commenced along the Fish River after the discovery of gold in 1823. The town was first known as Bullock Flats, but when it was proclaimed a village, it became Oberon.
