A red double-decker London bus tour will show off the “hidden gems” of one small town in regional NSW on Wednesday. The town is Bargo, a farming community in the state’s Macarthur region about 95km south of Sydney. IGA store manager Kassia Minassian is leading the tour to show off the best of the town and the community she had come to love.
“We’ve never had something like this in Bargo, so we’re all very excited,” she told NewsWire on Tuesday. “I just thought ..
. sometimes locals don’t know where to go either, and a lot of people are moving here as well from Sydney, and they just come to us, ask us questions, ‘where do I go get coffee, where do I do this?’ “So it was just perfect to show everyone.” The free tour kicks off at the Bargo IGA at 11am and hits some of the town’s hotspots, including the Australian Wildlife Sanctuary, the Leafy Latte Cafe, flower farm Thornton Bros Roses, the Cedar Creek Orchard farm and Hotel Bargo, which Ms Minassian hails as her favourite pub in town.
“I moved here about 10 years ago and there is nothing like it,” she said. “Everyone is just so supportive of each other, we take everyone under our wing. “What is so special about Bargo is the community, the people.
There are a lot of hidden gems that no one knows about.” Ms Minassian came up with the idea and her friends in town helped her pick out the tour spots. “It is a community,” she said.
The tour comes as new research from Bastion Insights shows some.
