I have chosen the topic of 'Backyard Touring' for a number of reasons and this includes my love of travelling and discovering new places. When people choose to travel, they usually go interstate or overseas but never really experience what is in their local area, in their own backyard.
Having lived in the Macarthur region of NSW for most of my adult life, I have become passionate about what this area has to offer. Having worked in the Sydney CBD for a long time, my average commute to work was about an hour or some 50km each way from home. A recent change in work situations has allowed me to work closer to home and my workplace is now in a more natural environment - I see cows and sheep every day and I love going to work!
This change has opened my eyes to what a beautiful area I live and work in and it has also made me realise that I didn't really know my local area all that well. That is about to change – as I now have a lesser commute to work, the extra time that I now have allows me to take the opportunity to experience all the tourism activities that the Macarthur region has to offer.
I decided that I would venture out and follow my local council’s official tourism 'What's On' calendar. My intention is then to share my experience through blog posts and photos with family, friends and fellow Sydneysiders. So come along for the ride and I will show you what there is to see and do in the Macarthur region, and for most of you this will all be within about an hour from home.
