Cumberland City Council is inviting residents and visitors to explore the rich stories, culture, and landscapes of Western Sydney through a new self-guided driving adventure partnership with explorer platform, ‘Go Drivin’.
The Go Driving road-trip discovery platform is designed to connect travellers with the hidden gems across Australia. Each stop is carefully designed to surprise and engage, providing an authentic journey through Cumberland’s vibrant community, at the driver’s own pace.
Mayor, Ola Hamed praised the initiative for its ability to uncover the area’s hidden historical landmarks and highlight local cultural history.
“This initiative offers a fresh, flexible way for people to explore Cumberland,” she said.
“Whether it’s a hidden landmark, a leafy park, or a local eatery, it’s an invitation to connect with our community and appreciate the beauty around us.
“These journeys highlight Cumberland’s transformation, from its deep roots to its vibrant, diverse present. More than just a road trip, it’s a chance to experience the layers that make up Cumberland’s identity.”
Go Drivin Founder, Winston Reinboth, also expressed his enthusiasm for the project, noting that the partnership allows locals and tourists alike to uncover places they may not have known existed.
“Go Drivin is all about discovery, and Cumberland has so many stories and places worth uncovering,” said Mrn Reinboth.
“These self-guided drives are more than just a road trip. They’re an invitation to connect with the people, culture, and history that make this community unique. By blending storytelling with exploration, we’re giving locals and visitors a fresh way to experience Western Sydney while shining a spotlight on the hidden gems and vibrant character that defines Cumberland.”
