Purchased land and built in North Orange and I cannot be happier. Personally, I enjoy the cooler weather, especially in summer. It is a delight to be free from the traffic congestion in Sydney, along with the agitated drivers and pollution. Orange is picturesque, the locals are welcoming, the wine and food to be had is second to none! (hence Orange food and wine festival). The city seems to be booming and features one of the most modern public hospitals in NSW and a new private hospital complex. In terms of local industry, the Cadia mine has 30-40 years of life in it and much more scope for resource upgrade to increase the mine life. There is also the new McPhillamys gold mine proposal for the Kings plain near Blayney. If you're retired or you work from home, Orange will be the perfect tree change location for you with all the benefits of a large city without the negatives.
