The colour city is living up to its name this autumn following a terrific start to the 2020 calendar year rain-wise.

After a wet end to April, we've already eclipsed our total rainfall for all of 2019, with the a green tinge returning to paddocks, lawns and parks across Orange.

And, of course, there's the burst of colour in our trees and gardens, too.

Photographers Jude Keogh and Carla Freedman have been around the region taking plenty of photos of our city's landscape in the last few months.

Check out our gallery, with the drought pictures taken in December through to the rain, flowing creeks and beautiful colours at the end of April to start of May.
