The Forbes
cemetery has several well known grave sites. Pictured is a plaque that signifies three
that had unmarked graves from the gold rush and bushranger era in the 1860's.
A wide range
of fruit, wine and vegetables are grown in the Forbes district and exported to other
regions.
The Albion Hotel
tunnels have a history of their own, leading back to the era of the gold rush. Established
under the Hotel (formerly the Cobb & Co coach stop) in the early 1860's, the tunnels
were used to transport gold and money to and from the banks to avoid being robbed when
conveying over the streets. A must for visitors to town.
Recreation
facilities such as play equipment is very important and visitors will find the latest
designed equipment at many of the parks situated in Forbes.
The
Olympic Pool is an excellent place to unwind after a hectic day or weekend. Open seven
days a week from October to Easter.
