Travelling along the M7 Motorway, striking art installations emerge from the landscape. Large, distinguished sculptures, a towering artwork soaring skywards, and an infantry of bronze horses that are impossible to miss. What you discover are First Nations artworks sharing deeply embedded stories, inviting you to learn, reflect and connect with local Dharug culture.

What better day out, than one combining good food, culture, the great outdoors and a healthy dose of exercise. For a different kind of adventure, join WEST as we put pedal to the metal and explore the ‘Emu Trail’, the 16km M12 shared user path. Integrating local Dharug First Nations culture and storytelling into the surrounding landscape, this is a day of discovery that will have your curiosity levels heightened with all there is to take in.

Turning off the Camden Bypass and following the curves of Burragorang Road, you’ll soon arrive in the cosy village of The Oaks. Coined by English botanist George Caley for the she-oaks in the area, it is one of the oldest settled areas in the Macarthur region, established in the 1820s. Located on the traditional lands of the Dharawal and Gundungurra people, The Oaks is a suburb where you will find heritage and country charm in abundance.
