Pick your own strawberries, cherries, plums and figs in Wombat, NSW
Real, currently-operating pick-your-own orchard at 78 Race Creek Road, Wombat NSW (10 min from Young), confirmed via NSW Government tourism listing, Visit Hilltops Region and Visit NSW, plus an active Facebook page (hilltopscherries). Offers pick-your-own cherries (Nov-Dec, peak Dec), strawberries, figs (Feb), persimmons (Apr) and plums, plus shed sales of pre-picked fruit, honey and jams; some lower-confidence aggregator sites also mention peaches, apricots, pomegranates and olives, not corroborated by the primary tourism sources. Same address and phone number also appear under the name 'Wombat Heights Orchard / The Grog Shed' (wombatheights.com.au), run by Stephen & Kerry Eastlake -- almost certainly the same business double-listed under two names by different tourism directories; confirmed this is a different operation from the already-listed 'Eastlake's Family Tree (Fairfield's Orchard)', which belongs to a different Eastlake family member (Tom Eastlake) at 3923 Olympic Highway, Wombat. Specific hours, pricing and booking requirements are thin and inconsistent across secondary sources (one says no bookings needed, another says bookings essential for coaches/large groups) so those fields were left blank rather than guessed.

On price, the details we hold for Hill-Lock Orchard read: Pay per kilogram for fruit picked, no entry fee (pattern reported consistently for the same address/phone under the related 'Wombat Heights' listing). One lower-confidence aggregator cites persimmons at $8/kg but this was not independently corroborated elsewhere. Treat that as the shape of the pricing rather than a quote: entry fees and per-kilo rates are both seasonal.
Hill-Lock Orchard at Wombat grows Cherries, Strawberries, Figs, Persimmons and Plums. Picking usually runs Nov-Dec (peak December); Feb. That window is what a normal year looks like here; the actual dates depend on how the season has run, so check first.
