Lithgow to Mudgee road trip: Distance, drive time & best stops
Lake Windamere on the drive to Mudgee
The scenery on the Lithgow to Mudgee drive gets a bit flatter from here. Lake Windamere, created by Windamere Dam, often looks stunning, but you know you’re getting close to Mudgee once the wineries start appearing. Skimstone in Apple Tree Flat and First Ridge Wines in Burrundulla are amongst the Mudgee wineries towards the end of the drive.
Mudgee activities include opal-polishing workshops, horse-riding and wine-tasting combos, plus wine tours in a classic car.
If you want somewhere to stay in Mudgee, try the very highly-rated Horatio Suites and Motel, the helpfully central Cobb & Co Court Boutique Hotel and the classy Parkview Hotel.
