local attractions

There is plenty to do in the region what with wineries, great shopping; boutiques, antiques shops, bush walking in the National Parks, picnic and scenic drives, sailing, fishing, museums, waterfalls and the list goes on.

"I personally love visiting the local wineries and getting to know the people and families who are producing such good drinking wines. My next favourite activity is to go bush walking in the local National Parks and Reserves for a day or even stay overnight. And then of course its all about the food, the eating and enjoying finding things or gifts that are unique to rural Australia" (a local)
