As you drive around rural Twenty Forests near the town of Oberon (New South Wales, Australia) in spring, you will see farmlands and rapeseed crops with the characteristic yellow colour. A very impressive sight with contrasting landscape colours

            Twenty Forests is a small New South Wales Rural Location within the local government area of Oberon, it is located approximately 137kms from the capital Sydney covering an area of 8.871 square kilometres. 
Oberon is a town located within the Oberon Council local government area, in the central tablelands region of New South Wales, Australia. The main industries are farming, forestry and wood products. The town usually receives snowfall during the winter months, owing to its high elevation. At the 2021 census, Oberon had a population of 3,319 people.
The town was permanently settled in 1839, originally named Bullock Flat, until it was renamed to Oberon in 1863. Gold was discovered on the Fish River in 1823, leading to a population boost in the area. The Oberon Council was formed in 1906. The Fish River Creek Post Office opened on 1 January 1855 and was renamed Oberon in 1866.
It is the birthplace of Greens politician Bob Brown, Ken Sutcliffe, supermotard rider Scott Saul, former Penrith Panthers players Ray Blacklock, Mark Booth, Dr Therese Wales and DJ Tallis O’Neill. Oberon is located near Jenolan Caves and the Kanangra-Boyd National Park.
Australian pub rock band Cold Chisel filmed the music video to their hit song "Flame Trees" in and around Oberon. The song's lyrics (written by Cold Chisel keyboardist Don Walker) present the story of a young man returning to his hometown, where he reminisces about the past and his former girlfriend from the region. 
Rapeseed (Brassica napus subsp. napus), also known as rape, or oilseed rape, is a bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family), cultivated mainly for its oil-rich seed, which naturally contains appreciable amounts of erucic acid. The term canola denotes a group of rapeseed cultivars which were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and are especially prized for use as human and animal food. Rapeseed is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and the second-largest source of protein meal in the world. 43507
