Nature around Harden
Harden is known for its scenic beauty, particularly during spring. The area produces more than a dozen different grain and fruit crops; when the latter are in flower, they provide a magnificent landscape of colour.
About Harden
This historic former railway centre surrounded by farmland is a twin town with the nearby village of Murrumburrah. Just 35-km south-east of Young, Harden and Murrumburrah have a delightful old-world feel. You can discover Harden's historic buildings on a self-guided town tour and enjoy a leisurely browse through antique and collectable stores.
Make sure you visit local orchards in season to see how the fruit is processed and stock up your picnic basket. You'll also find local mustard oils and virgin olive oil. Buy some distinctively-flavoured honey from Harden House of Honey.
