Great place to stop by on your way to Warrumbungles. Before you go up the observatory, visit the museum in the visitor centre to experience some interesting interactive exhibitions. Lots of telescopes and equipments in the observatory, would be good for someone interested in astronomy. There is also a viewing deck that provides a glimpse of the landscapes ahead.

What a great tour we were lucky enough to be there when they were doing tests and could see the telescope being orientated. You can’t appreciate how big it is and the view from outside at the top is just breathtaking. The tour guide did a brilliant job of explaining the importance of the telescope, how it works and all the fun facts on the universe was so fun and informative. The passion he brings to the tour makes it that much more enjoyable.

Feel like I've had a once in a lifetime experience at the stargazing capitol of Australia. These amazing telescopes set amongst the warrumbungles is surreal and quite magical. Siding springs has an open day once a year where you can get a sausage sizzle, view a few of the amazing telescopes, go inside the planetarium, listen to talks, have ice cream and visit the museum. So interactive, great for kids and fascinating details about planets, our solar system, galaxies, the sun...it's great. You can see how much you'd weigh on mars, and see how heavy a litre of milk is on Saturn. Loved the whole day.

Went here on a road trip. A little out of the way but definitely worth visiting. There's an interpretive centre, lots of telescope including the big one. You can go inside and up to the fourth floor and observe the telescope. Excellent views of the surrounding landscape - particularly the Warrumbungle Ranges.

We recently did the all day tour at Siding Spring Observatory with our two little boys, and it was one of the best tours we’ve ever done. Our guide Branioc was excellent. He was very entertaining, personable, and extremely knowledgeable about the observatory and its workings, as well as the wildlife and history of the area, and even made our coffee and lunch back at the cafe! The views of the Warrumbungles from the exterior catwalk are spectacular, and it was fantastic getting to see the telescopes, and learning more about the field of astronomy. The exploratory was also informative and very well presented. We highly recommend doing a tour - it was a highlight of our holidays. Thank you again to Branioc for making the tour such a wonderful thought-provoking experience!

Great place to visit. The visitor museum place is great has lots of information for the people interested in Astrology. Interactive displays.

Such an astonishing attraction for both amateur and professionals. It also provided night stargaze for Milky Way enjoyment. Highly expect for my next visit.

Great free camping for self-contained caravans. Flat large sites. Obtain permit from Visitors Centre. Interesting exhibits in the Visitors Centre. Very helpful staff.

Up there with the best Tourist Information centres in Australia. Great, prompt and valuable customer service and knowledge. The historical displays were well labelled and told the story of the "Cooee March", an important part of this locale's contribution to World War 1. The indigenous and town stories were also displayed in easy format. Gift shop on site. Amenities are clean and well maintained. Off road parking is plentiful for vehicles and caravans. Mobility parking available.

Took advantage of the free overnight stay. 10 spots available, register online. A good spot, lots of 4g. Not busy. Convenient location on main street.

Stopped here for a quick break on the long drive north and were glad we did. Such a great information centre with an Indigenous history exhibit and installation on the Cooee March from Gilgandra, which we weren't aware of. Clean amenities and a lovely deck with cafe make this a perfect rest stop or spend a bit longer to take in all the information about this historical town.

Have not called in for a while. Amazing fixed displays especially the co..eee March. Also I loved the fossil exhibit. Went out back to the little coffee shop. The young lady was delightful Also the front desk inquiry officer was busy answering questions. Beautiful clean toilets. The ladies loo had a stunning photograph on the wall. Breathtaking

Great place to stop for lunch, cafe available. Toilets are nice and easy parking. Nice small gallery and a museum about the march and local people.

Gilgandra information centre is the most helpful centre I have used in travelling full-time over 18 months the lovely lady was so informative and provided incredible service Nicky couldn't of been more helpful in giving advice on places of interest to me spent her valuable time going through maps just a delightful experience which is appreciated and the town is such a nice place it's a credit to this shire and great they allow rv parking here on a nice flat surface

This is a Must-visit attraction in Dubbo. This Japanese garden is beautiful with a little lake that has some of the most amazing colourful, huge sized Koi fish, few different types of ducks and other birds, many exotic varieties of trees plants and flowers etc. There's also bbq and seating areas located within. The relaxing atmosphere here provides for a refreshing experience. Highly recommended.

Beautifully landscaped and well maintained gardens and playground. The playground is fenced with several picnic shelters, and a toilet block right in the middle, with a flying fox, large concrete slide, climbing frames, hammock, and wheelchair accessible swing which appeared to be in good working order when we visited. Note that although fenced, the gate is left open. The Japanese gardens are enclosed separately to the playground. It features meandering pathways, a magnificent weeping willow and a large pond with waterfall, ducks and koi. Small children need close supervision in this space due to easy access to the water. There are also toilet facilities at the back of the Japanese gardens. Definitely worth a visit for all ages. We loved it so much we came twice during our stay in Dubbo.

The botanic garden development began in 1999 and currently comprises one adventure playground, and five distinctive garden spaces; Shoyoen Japanese Garden, the Sensory Garden, the Biodiversity Garden, the Oasis Valley and the Wiradjuri Garden. It is open 7 days with shorter time on weekends. You can book for guided tours by calling the council. Alternatively there is an audio app that you can download on your mobile phone. It is over a large area and can take some hours to visit. The Japanese house on site has limited numbers at any one time and hence needs to be prebooked. Popular place, need to go early to avoid the heat as well. You can get there by car or public transport. Toilets available. Uneven terrain, lot of walking. You can spend several hours here depending on your interests. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Free entry. Beautiful place. Lots to see especially in spring when blooms are out. Lovely place for picnic. Great place for photography.

Beautiful lil Japanese garden. Nice place to chill out get couple thousand. Steps up. Also across rd major shopping centre

Very interesting place. There is no need to buy tickets for garden entry. The garden was so beautiful and very silent, peaceful. We have play area opposite Garden. Kids can Spend time the play area if they get board. When We went, we had plenty of parking but during school holidays and peak time may be busy.

Beautiful gardens especially the Japanese Gardens 😍 love it, was a great surprise. Would definitely recommend them when in Dubbo

Very nice garden to visit while in town, there is also a great large playground for the kids which is bigger than the average neighbourhood playground. The Zen Gardens are awesome and love all the roses.

Such an interesting and historic place. Very eerie walking through the jail cell building. Worth a visit. Street parking or parking near the information center available. Small little gift shop and toilets on site.

The old gaol has a fascinating history. You can do self-guided tours. Lots of info, pictures and holograms to bring to life the stories of the prisoners. Definitely recommend when in Dubbo.

I truly enjoyed the night tour. Lots more information on prisoners stories, more quiet to be able to hear and the two fantastic tour guides Chad and Milla. Enthusiastic, full of life and great sense of humour, excellence is my word for these wonderful young people. Thank you so much for an memorable and fun night. I did attend the day before and ended up leaving. Two groups of schools entered, at different times. Sadly it was so noisy we couldn't hear ourselves think. I feel the public could be informed of school visits to work around the school schedule, so the public can make a decision to whether to attend at that time. I feel the teachers, parents and dubbo jail have an obligation to teach our children some good old manners. This allows children to listen and respect others around them and some thoughtfulness to others. Constantly ringing the big bell was not only annoying but deafening. Never an issue or a problem on the kids having some fun, but not Constantly over and over. It was so bad we all left. But overall a fantastic experience.

Fun experience for kids with a show where kids can help a convict escape! Also really interesting and educational for Australian history.

Plenty to see and do here despite it looking really dull from the outside. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. There are character performances and self-guided tours of the cells, hospital and grounds. Plenty of exhibits and photos of the executed prisoners, if you like that part of the macabre. Worth a visit if you're in town. We spent about 90 minutes there.

Geez it wouldn’t have been an enjoyable stay in the Old Dubbo Gaol back in the day! Very well preserved and presented, gave you a real sense of what it would have been like to be a prisoner here years ago, stinking hot in Summer and bloody freezing in Winter…damn!! Glad we stopped in to check it out!

Loved it here and a pleasant way to spend a few hours,would have been a hard life here in those times and the special act they put in was fun

We came out to Dubbo in the July School holidays to visit the zoo with the kids. We’ve talked about it for a number of years and finally booked it in. We were considering staying at the zoo but you would need to remortgage the house to afford it so we choose much more affordable accommodation in town. We were considering booking the carts to get around as one of our kids has a disability and can’t ride a bike but they were all booked out for our visit. This actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise as you can easily navigate the park if you have your own car and save some cash on the carts. It was super easy to ride around the loop on the bikes with the other kids and only one spot where we had to drop the gears to push up the hill. Was good being able to ride the bikes up to each enclosure and plenty of bike racks throughout the park to leave the bikes. We did the safari adventure but was a bit disappointed this was an additional cost on top of the park entry, surely this should be included, just feels like something you shouldn’t have to pay extra for. Overall the enclosures are great with heaps of room for the animals to roam but like most zoos the animals do look a bit bored and need some action. All the herding animals are too relaxed as there is no predator threats and the predators just chilling as they don’t have to hunt anymore. I’m sure punters would pay good money to see the animals in a more real world environment. Imagine seeing the big cats in action stalking their pray, now that would bring in the crowds. Anyways, I’ll just saviour the time I got to see a white lion take down a water hen in its enclosure many years ago at a different zoo……priceless. Overall an enjoyable day out with the kids.

We have just enjoyed a completely magical day at Dubbo Zoo. We booked a night at Zoofari Lodge. The day we spend leisurely cruising round the zoo in our car (we would have hired a “golf cart” but it was quite hot and very windy so we settled for aircon comfort). We did two circuits of the 5km round trip and saw pretty much all that we could have hoped for. Up close and personal with lions giraffes and a whole host of other animals. We checked into our lodge at two pm and sat on our balcony watching zebras rhinos and giraffes wander past as they grazed the food which had been left for them in front of our rooms. We were then taken to hand feed giraffes, and then onto a private after hours tour of the zoo after it was closed to public. Our guide Hallie was really informative, giving us a great commentary as well as answering all of our questions, and there were many! What a great experience, one we hope to repeat. And we still have another day to roam the zoo tomorrow. Andy and Gabs.

This is a great zoo with a wonderful variety of animals. I'd love if there were more carts available for hire as we arrived at time of opening and they were all sold out. It's a big day and by the time you get past the waterhole it's exhausting to think about getting out of the car....once again! But overall a wonderful day.

Quite disappointed with my visit. Most of the animals looked tired and not very active — the only tiger seemed depressed, pacing back and forth in the same spot. The rhino was just laying down the whole time, looking quite lifeless and uninterested. Didn’t see any platypus at all, even though there’s a Platypus HQ. I stayed around the viewing deck and pond area for about 15 minutes, trying to spot one under the trunks, branches, or hiding spots — but not a single platypus in sight. There was only one siamang, and a few Tasmanian devils, but they were really far away because of the enclosure and fencing setup — it kept people at too much of a distance to see clearly. The lions were in a group, and one male lion seemed alert and aware of his surroundings, which was nice to see. The meerkats were plenty, but honestly, it felt quite repetitive since you pass by several meerkat viewing points along the way. There was only one small bird enclosure with a honeyeater and a few other birds. The place overall looked a bit run down, and most of the big animals were just too far to enjoy. The best part was the Galapagos giant tortoises — there were a few of them, we could view them up close, and they seemed well cared for. The koalas were also lovely; I managed to spot three of them resting. Overall, the $50 entry fee really didn’t feel worth it. Melbourne Zoo offered a much better experience for the price. Also, make sure to buy tickets beforehand if you want to feed the giraffes, as they sell out quickly and can’t be purchased on the spot.

We had a great time at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo. You can drive your own car through the zoo for free, hire a bike (not sure how much), or rent a cart for around $80 a day. There are several stops where you can park, get out, and see the animals up close. The zoo is really well maintained and easy to explore. We had burgers at the cafe freshly made and good! They mentioned our tickets were valid for two days, though I’m not sure if that’s the same on weekdays.

An awesome day out for the whole family. You can bicycle around, hire a buggy or even drive your own car, stopping at each enclosure with heaps of parking. Lots of animals to see in a more natural setting.

Great fun for families with young children and adults alike! The zoo is beautifully laid out, with spacious enclosures and plenty of opportunities to see the animals up close. The walking and cycling paths make it easy to explore, and the staff are friendly and informative. A wonderful day out that combines fun, learning, and fresh air!

A great experience. Staff are fantastic and so enthusiastic and evidently passionate about what they do. Heating up food seemed to keep the staff overly busy and they could consider a way to get this done quicker or have pre heated food and maybe pre made sandwiches? (Just trying to help...) Would come again to see the other cave, we saw cathedral and it didn't disappoint.

Loved this place. We spent the whole day here and did two cave tours and the discovery show. Loved the caves however they are both quite small. They are both very different, yet equally spectacular. We are lunch here and looked at the fossil in the mini museum, great day.

We had a great time and spent 1 hour there despite missing our tour due to road closures. The interactive room is so good. The Japanese gardens are also worth a look and are across the road

Park was lovely green grass. Our site was on a steep hill so either way we put the caravan either the drawbar was on the ground or the jockey wheel was chocked up very very high. Playground is out of action and the pool was closed for the whole time we were there. Being the long weekend it was not ideal when you have little kids with you. Cave tour was ok.

We loved the Wellington Caves experience with Westie. He is a fun and lively local, and a great tour guide. We've traveled past the turnoff heaps of times and never before gone in. It's really worth it and something that should be in everyone's bucket list. Thanks also to the lovely young staffer who got us in to the tour as ring-ins. Paul and Michelle.

We didn't stay in accomodation, just came for the caves tours and loved it. Had 6yo & 10yr old, grand mother and us enjoy thoroughly. Tour guide was amazing & very informative.

I’m just appalled at staff who think it’s ok to talk to guests like a school child. Don’t turn up 7 minutes early for checking or you’ll be scalded. Don’t ask if the pool ca be opened a couple of days before October (even though it’s school holidays) or you’ll be asked questions like ”would McDonald’s let you in at 4am?” Well mane not mate, but at least they have customer service. Park is lovely itself. Bathrooms are clean but could do with some plumbing work. Cave tour, not cheap and honestly, meh.

An interesting spot to stop and see the open cut gold mine. A free site with a couple of walks. We did the one to the first lookout which was only a very short distance maybe 5 minute walk. There was a ramp that would be suitable for wheelchairs/strollers. You would need to go back the same way as there are stairs continuing on around the circuit. Toilets available also.

It’s really beautiful and a fantastic walk! The amount of history and variety of stunning views over the different sized mines was happily unexpected. There are two trail paths (a shorter 30 minute walk that weaves through the mines, and a longer 45-minute forest walk that circumnavigates the mine property). The boardwalk area near the old ravines is particularly wonderful! I would say the only downside is that the trail markers are complete nonsense and rarely actually help in confirming which path you are on, or want to follow. But the paths are short and it’s a fun walk anyway. If you’re passing through or staying near Peak Hill, this is highly recommended!

Great place to visit, easy parking, especially for caravan. Good signage and easy walk, although a few steps, but very do-able

This attraction is free. There's enough parking as it wasn't very busy and the parking available is suitable for caravans (a few vans at least). There's a couple of walks to do and several lookout points. Some of the track includes an include. It's a gravel surface track and there are lots of ants around so be careful where you stop for photos. We ended up with dozens of large ants walking all over our shoes as we didn't look down when taking our first photo. I think it's worth having a look if you're interested in this type of thing or you happen to be passing by and it's convenient to stop. I wouldn't go out of my way again to visit it though.

Great part of history and a great walk around the mine. Its free so go visit and just enjoy the walk and amazing colours reflecting from the soil and rocks

Was interesting but needs more historical sheds, shelters, perhaps old tools etc but worth the look

Good experience, there's couple of walking tracks

In your travels North and South up and down the Newell Hwy if your never stopped and taken the time to divert off the hwy to visit the Parks Observatory you are doing yourself a disservice. If your got kids it is especially worth while. Only a hand full of Km north of Parks and about 6km down the side road will get you there. Free entry with most of activities designed and aimed at the kids around 9-14yrs. Lots of photos and interesting information panels for the adults and hands on activities for the kids. The gift shop is A1 with good prices for a wide variety of interesting items to buy. The actual 'dish' is huge and most impressive and you will be amazed. It is still in operational use presently. There is a guided tour available but we didn't do that. This side divert will easily chew up a couple of hours and both you and the kids will appreciate getting out of the car far a very interesting tourist attraction. Got a Cafe there as well. Free and ample close by parking including long vehicles and free entry. Make sure you visit the outside two opposing dishes 70mts apart where if you face into one dish and whisper your partner can hear what you say facing into the other dish. All in all a great little place to visit that will consume no more than two hours of your time and break up your drive. Highly recommend.

Great 3D movie to inform the public about our planet & solar system. Great displays and of course a view of the dish. Plenty of gifts & merchandise with space in mind. A cafe available. Movie was a cost, but everything else was free to view.

Great place to look around to explore and learn some history. If you haven't seen the movie The Dish, I suggest you watch it and learn more about what it does. It's free to go in and check everything out. The whisper dishes out the front are great. You start whispering in them, and the other person over at the other didh can hear you as though you were standing beside them. Awesome place to visit

This is my 3rd time here and it just blows my mind. Lots to see, but unfortunately the cafe/ food is now closed, very disappointed as i would have liked a coffee while enjoy the structure rotate today. Must must must do everybody!!

Great stopover on the way to Dubbo! We saw the 3S experience which was only $16pp and we didnt even know Australia had a Observatory like this! Such a great experience

Nice little stop on the way through NSW. Interesting information center and GOOD doughnuts! Worth the stop if you are passing through or if you are in to space exploration and the moon landings!

The museum is cool, they have the universes baby picture. My brother is jealous and wants to also visit.

If you're an ELVIS or vintage cars fan stop in! Popped it to get a bumper sticker and was met with an amazing collection of Elvis memorabilia, apparently the biggest in the southern hemisphere! Lots of real items from Elvis, even left with a keep sake collectable a piece of the kings hair! Past the Elvis room is a garage full of all types of vintage cars!

Awesome, Elvis Display Was Very Interesting, Plus Vintage Car and Bikes, Didn't Have A Look At The Pioneer Museum, Should Have But Think I've Seen My Fair Share Of Them Of Late In My Travels

Great place for info. Loved Elvis museum & Car museum. Short doco on Henry Parkes was very good.

Visited the Henry Parkes Centre to see the car collection. Access via the Tourism Information Centre. Cars restored and well displayed with interesting information boards. Also motorcycles and automotive memorabilia on display. Reasonable prices.

Parkes Museum, what a great place with such a variety of exhibits, just a treasure trove. Spent at least 3 hrs here, just Soo much to see.

This place is for you if your a Big Fan of The legend King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley.

Worth the visit, easy parking, toilets available. We enjoyed the free video about Henry Parkes. We paid to to do the Elvis and car museum. We didn't pay or do the historical village.

Great spot to learn about fossil discovery in area, amazing staff who were excellent at explaining museum.

Age of Fishes Museum at Canowindra is well worth the stop. A terrific glimpse into the past, when fishes dominated the once inland seas. The fossil collection is a real eye opener and the result of many years of dedication putting it together. Kids with any kind of interest in science will love it. Friendly staff make it all the better experience.

If you have any interest in palaeontology or fish, then this is a must visit. If you have kids interested in dinosaurs, then I can highly recommend it as there's many interactive activities for kids. Even if you just have a casual interest in natural history it's worth a look.

Great museum covering prehistoric Age of Fishes. Best of only two similar museum in the world. We came to Canowindra only because of the museum. Exposition includes only small part of fossils discovered near by. Display is very interesting and informative. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the visit.

Loved this museum could get really close to the exhibits. Staff were amazing, super friendly. Could bring my dog in with me (dog is small Jack Russell). Spent an hour and a half. Unexpected and interesting attraction in a small town.

A wonderful museum with very important artefacts. Staff were very helpful and very lovely. A lot of interactive exhibits. Gift shop was surprisingly well stocked and also interesting. Worth visiting Canowindra for!

What an amazing museum! Seeing such complete, ancient, rare, large, fossil fish was amazing . You are allowed to touch them giving a unique, hands on experience. The staff ween so helpful and knowledgeable to help my family understand everything. The displays had easy to understand descriptive texts to help as well. With tv monitors showing what these fish and life was like almost 400,000 years ago way before the dinosaurs. There were 3 large sections plus an outdoor area full of info including timelines going back to the beginning of the earth and so the beginning of life. This helped us all place how these armoured fish evolved along with dinosaurs, mammals etc etc all the way to humans. This is a truly world class site!

Such an an impressive display of cars and bikes. They have over 60 vehicles ranging from the early 1900’s to a 2015 Holden Maloo. There’s also a great souvenir shop as well as a die cast model shop. I highly recommend a visit to this museum.

This place is a must, it's a full personal collection of the most beautiful cars that I've ever seen. They started in 1961 when they bought their first T model for £25 (a whole weeks wage back then) and have just added to it as a passion of theirs. The couple who own this are selling it all and the building for retirement, so highly recommend going to see before such a beautiful collection is no longer

This is a really cool museum with some very nice cars and bikes and even a caravan. They have some very unique vehicles with very interesting histories that made it all the more interesting. I met the owner and his daughter, lovely people.

Definitely worth a visit. Plenty of vehicles covering over 100yrs of vehicles. So if you enjoy vehicles go visit and enjoy a walk through history

Absolutely terrific, 86 year old Bill generously spent half an hour with us and made the visit. The museum is a must before it closes for good.

a little gem ,well worth a look. great admission price too

Great selection of cars, bikes and other motorised vehicles. The Japanese funeral car was a particular highlight, especially seeing as Mr Mcfeeters himself showed us inside the back. I also really liked the sheep corner - glass cabinets filled with sheep paraphernalia of all shapes and sizes. Plus the strangest little gift shop. Sadly the cafe is permanently closed.

What a beautiful place. So serene, well thought out. Everything was in full bloom. Ducks were in there splendour. We even saw some ducklings Finished our afternoon off with a drink and snack from the Cafe.

A beautiful, tranquil experience! It is a must do attraction if you are visiting Cowra. I'm a local, and love taking my visitors and kids to the gardens. There's ducks and fish to feed, and lots of lizards to spot along the way. Highly recommended!

I love this place so much that I've bought a yearly ticket. I'm looking forward to seeing each season. It's a lovely drive from Canberra through Boorowa and great for my dogs. The staff are wonderful; so friendly and helpful. It's a pleasant overnight trip on a weekend.

This was a wonderful experience to walk around these beautiful manicured gardens. They took you to another world. Great service in the cafe with great food options and then a lovely gift shop and our dogs were welcomed to join us.

This is a lovely and serene garden that is well worth visiting. It is bigger than I expected, but not too big to be explored in 1-2 hours. You can also set up your picnic rug and spend the afternoon here. There is a cafe as well, up front.

Lovely and tranquil garden and not too busy. Good gift shop and cafe both of which are not over priced. Highly recommended.

If you love flowers this is the place for you. There is plenty of parking for cars & caravans, clean facilities, gift shop and cafe. The gardens are easy to walk around with plenty of spots to stop and enjoy the view.

Walked🚶‍♀️through here a while back. I enjoyed all the gift ideas that were on display in the centre, and I then looked at the information about the Cowra Breakout it was rather interesting.

Recommended to view the hologram presentation here at the visitor centre prior to making way up to the Japanese Gardens and Breakout site

Great story told so very well Really enjoyable

Great place to see had a great holographic 9 minute show on historical POW camp well worth visiting for and some local wines, jams, chocolate etc for sale. Information lady was quite forward wanting to help when u were just looking around, we would have gone to her eventually but she was a little forward to get your attention! She gave us information quickly and accurately then we went on our way!

Great place to stop. Very informative.

A must do. The hologram display on the breakout was so well done. So educational.

Fantastic van park the place is in immaculate condition so clean and we'll maintained. One of the few parks that is pet friendly added to all this is it's terrific location right in town.

Whenever we're passing through West Wyalong, it's always a must to stop at Elaine's Hot Glass Gallery to purchase her unique pieces of glassware for family, friends+ ourselves. Annually we like to travel from Melbourne+ look forward to a friendly chat with Elaine (she is very talented). Just purchased more pieces for Christmas" in July".🎁Dawn+Rob

Read the reviews while travelling from a fellow Tasmanian had to stop and have a look yes I bought a piece well done Elaine great work

My wife loves the beautiful glass. We have a been twice and purchased items each time. Recommend the place if you want something special.

Beautifully handcrafted unique glassware. Elaine is very informative and offers helpful advice from her experience with her creations.

Exquisite is the only word to use. And the owner is so talented. So experimental. So professional. And the site is just to behold!!!! As I said. Exquisite. Talent. Can't pass by without stopping. And purchasing.

A great Studio by a lovely, talented glass artist. Beautiful glass pieces for sale too.

Lovely pieces of handnade bespoke slumped glassware made onsite by the artisan.

So lucky to be here to see the Grey Mouse Spitfire take off heading to the Melbourne Grand Prix for a flyover. Great Museum with very friendly helpful staff. Hubby went on the spitfire simulator and had some fun. Now has a coffee shop with nice food and hot and cold drinks. All planes in this museum actually fly as well. Very interesting and worth a visit. $20 adults.

Wow! The aircraft were amazing. Very well maintained with informative videos at each stop. Clean and well laid out. Great experience.

Excellent display with guided audio and tour guides. Also flight simulators are available to hire and experience flying a warbird like a Spitfire. Cafe and gift shop on site. Excellent access for all abilities and the staff are very friendly.

Came here for Warbirds Airshow 2024. The scale is smaller but still enjoyable. My husband enjoyed the day a lot. A food stall sold really bad food though we never expected much. Thanks for the great weather too! The accommodations around were fully booked out at least a month ago due to this event.

Well worth a visit. Friendly volunteers/staff. You can take advantage of one of their flight simulators for only $69 for 30 minutes and they include your entry fee. The on-site cafe has a good choice of food. Allow a couple of hours if you do a flight in the simulator. We did the Spitfire .

Absolutely great, Bev was just an amazing lady. Very knowledgeable about her planes. Very enthusiastic. I had the best experience there. Thank you guys for the memories.

Brilliant 👏 👏 this museum is really informative, and the variety of planes was amazing! My Mum and grandma also enjoyed it too! We are definitely coming back as we look forward to seeing a airshow here one day.

Definitely worth a visit if rocks, caves and views are your thing! I enjoyed it because the paths are Not manicured- adds to the adventure. Medium fitness and sturdy shoes recommended. Enjoy.

Easy free parking. Not disabled friendly. No toilets. You should be mildly fit as they are some stairs to climb, but you can take your time. Take a photo of the map on the sign because not much else is marked clearly on the trail except a few numbers, which I couldn't see correlated with anything on the sign. Some of the brush is growing over the pathway in areas. Seems this is a popular spot as there are countless tracks trekking through it all and sometimes you have to guess which pathway you should be taking. Little to no signage and what signs are there are faded or stripped, so it's a bit of a guessing game. But if you like a bit of free roaming and making it up along the way, this is for you. It's not too difficult and the views are really great. Take a camera, you'll want to share your photos of the experience later with family and friends.

Am amazing story of survival and making the most of a situation. Also a lovely walk worth views on Griffith

I came here just for the cave and the view. I know nothing about the story before knowing this place. It’s a long way to be there. However, there is no enough sign. They should put more sign and explanation l, making the visit more worthy.

Good scenic look out over the town. Interesting cave along a walking track. The track itself is moderately difficult with some steep rocky steps leading from the lookout to the caves. The caves themselves were the size if small rooms, but there is not much in there now.

It is amazing to think of what he did, how he lived and to think he was interned during the war. The terracing is well worth a visit.

Had a short visit there, didn’t get much chance to explore all the caves but overall was nice and interesting. The view from the lookout was beautiful.

LOVED THIS EXPERIENCE! The guide (didn't get his name but he was a guy) was super knowledgeable and great for the tour. So many different animals and they look happy and healthy. Great for a couple activity or family. Great bang for buck going here only $40 for adults. Make sure you call ahead to book your spot on the tour before getting there. Highly recommend.

What a great little zoo staff are very good. It was very easy access for those with limited mobility although I don't know about wheelchair access. The gates open around 10 minutes before each session you can buy water and soft drinks but know food, there are no picnic facilities so maybe eat before you arrive.

This place was amazing! Our guide, Kate, was particularly passionate and knowledgeable as she drove us around and shared the animals with us. We rode on seats with a shade above us, Safari style through the extensive park. It was a great way of sharing information, building curiosity and excitement, factual and fun. The smaller animals were also a delight to visit. A real highlight of our trip coming out to Griffith!

A must see if you are in the area. The wildlife park has now been running for 20 years and has many important breeding programs. These programs are needed as wild populations have been decimated. The staff have a wonderful knowledge of all the animals. The walk around the small animal enclosure was magic, but the wagon ride around the park was the highlight of the tour. Make sure you book tickets before arriving. PS - We stayed at the Darlington Point caravan park, which was sensational.

It was really well run for the animals to have an enjoyable life and the humans were well looked after in a vehicle towed setup that meant you where high and could see everything really well. This private zoo is well like and supported by many donors who like the ethos of keeping the animals there happy and comfortable and engaged

The kids had a fantastic time, and the host was very knowledgeable. We took a morning tour, which coincided with feeding time for the animals, making it fun to watch.

State of the animal walk. No crocs To see. Was not stated on web page.. Very small enclosures. The young man did his best, when asked some questions he said I don't know Drove 2 hours for not much.

Located only about 250 meters (2 minutes walk) from the Waring gardens, this is a good place to spend some time for local info and the past history of Deniliquin etc. On weekends it's open for limited hours only.

Very helpfull with information. Good art sculpture display and small museum to look thru .

A lovely Heritage Centre located at the Information Centre. A great place to stop and take in the Local Areas History. Interesting information about the 'Warbreccan Woolshed' also 🐑

Really helpful staff, historical displays & buildings, art gallery & heaps of local produce and products to purchase.

Absolutely worth the visit. Loved the Peppin heritage center at the back of the visitor info center. So informative of life for the settlers of the Riverina & the history of merinos to the area. Also a great display out the back about ww2 and the part deni played in the aus airforce! Lovely staff. Would recommend

This place has the perfect location on the Edwards River,just a short stroll.Indoor and outdoor seating,and the local kookaburras will fly in for a look also.Only had coffee with a group of friends,coffee was good.Everything nearby is a short stroll.

Great place to get a heap of info about Deniliquin and surrounding regions. Lots of hostorical items, pictures, stories and it has preserved the old classroom of this once a school of olde. Great friendly staff that also stock lots of local foods, condiments and works. It also holds great events such as farmers markets, craft markets & art exhibitions. A must go for all visitors and locals that have not yet been.

Well worth a stop. Yes it is touristy, but it's also grey nomads like us that come for a pic of the Big Thing and then spend a bit of money that goes back into the local economy. After reading the reviews, we steered clear of the waffles and pancakes and ordered scones instead. Very nice, along with strawberry jam and fresh whipped cream. I would recommend a stop here.

We got here at 11am luck as we missed the massivce crowd . And got our food before a huge influx of people. Free wifi is good but we sat next too the kids play area, it's a good idea , it's $750 pp under 3 is free but they have a seperate area beside the play ground that all costs money . I wanted to order a burger but was 30 min early to order one but people I saw ordered them that was annoying . But I was lucky I ordered the chicken msredrd mustard Spanish rostie it was really nice I'm lucky I ordered that. The okay prices I think are too expensive potentially $5 or over a total for the table kids play for free. All the food and coffee was pretty good . The kids pancake with other was the same price as one on the full menu that U got 2 pancakes good scoop of strawberry ice-cream and strawberries in the pancake so we got that instead , that wasn't a kids meal. The only in the kids area the wife could of been better and lower kids play prices should be lower everything else was good if eat again if I'm in the area. Staff where all friendly and polite and happy and enjoying their job .

The staff member in this photo seriously needs proper customer service training and, more importantly, needs to understand that being racist towards visitors is completely unacceptable. We had one of the worst experiences during our visit. From the moment we arrived, there was a noticeable attitude problem. One of our friends had their order messed up, which, to be fair, can happen. Mistakes are part of the job and we would have understood that. However, instead of handling it with a simple apology or any professionalism, the staff responded with rudeness, dismissiveness and an awful attitude. What shocked us most was not the mistake itself, but the way they reacted. They made us feel like we were the problem for simply pointing it out. It was deeply disappointing and honestly quite upsetting. If you are planning to visit, be prepared for one of the worst customer service experiences you might have in Australia. The place clearly does not care about how it treats people, and the behaviour of the staff reflects that. Keep your expectations low so you are not caught off guard like we were.

If you're visiting Bearii, this is a wonderful place to explore, especially for children. They offer a delightful strawberry vine, a variety of playful activities, and beautiful lilies that can bring joy to visitors of all ages.

The Big Strawberry 🍓 – Nice spot, but service needs work This was my second visit to The Big Strawberry & sadly, it won’t be a third. I brought my family here thinking it would be a great spot for locals and tourists alike, but the service left a lot to be desired. We wanted to try some strawberry liquor at the tasting area, but it was unattended when we arrived. After waiting a few minutes, two staff members appeared, one said she’d send someone over but nothing happened. Another lady noticed us waiting but didn’t offer any help, just glanced and went about her tasks. After asking three times, one lady finally served us but seemed annoyed and mentioned the tasting was limited to three people, which felt a bit rude. In the end, we only shared 1 sample and didn’t end up buying a bottle. It felt disappointing, especially as visitors and I can’t help but wonder if that influenced the attitude we received. The venue is beautiful with nice indoor and outdoor spaces, so it’s unfortunate the customer service didn’t live up to that standard. To improve, better staff training on attentiveness and friendliness , especially during busy times is essential. Every guest, whether local or tourist, should feel genuinely welcomed and valued. Treating people differently based on where they’re from can come across as unfair or even racist, which is truly disappointing. I hope the team can improve because the potential here is huge! 🍓✨

Really enjoyed our Devonshire tea. Was a bit confused about the pricing as it advertised $12- for 2 scones + coffee or tea but I only had 1 scone & still cost $23- 🤔 but scones were great 👍. Purchased some relish & jam and when we got it home realised it was 4 months after best before date 🤦🏻‍♀️ Hopefully they’re ok after spending $24- buyer beware I didn’t think to check that

Great place. Owners/managers always trying to make us feel welcome. We always try stop in when we have time. Lots of creative strawberry products.

Thanks, Cactus Country for helping me celebrate my birthday! I booked for 15 people and they gave us the entire event room for the entire day. It was perfect to be able to leave our things while we went for a walk. I ordered platters for 15 people and they provided more than enough. It was delicious and served promptly! Can't recommend attending in the Spring enough!!

What a wonderful way to spend the most part of a day. This place caters for all from kids to ground ups ( especially older never grow up kinds ) we had a lovely day exploring the amazing cactus variants wow what a variety and you can take your dog too.Friendly staff great food and frozen margaritas yummy highly recommend

While camping in Bearii, we discovered this amazing spot to visit. We had a great time exploring the area and seeing so many different varieties of cacti all in one place. Plus, it’s pet-friendly! Before you leave, make sure to try the cactus ice cream and cake at the charming little café—they also offer a variety of food and drinks.

Great experience! Bernie is a gem - such a delight and very informative Cacti are also currently in full flowering season and the gardens are so pretty Definitely worth a visit but gets really warm in the afternoon so sunscreen is a must

Interesting place to visit. The cacti are beautiful when in bloom. Easy parking. Reasonably priced. Lots of variety. Great place for families.

We had a lovely day walking around, looking at the most weird and wonderful variety of cactus ever! The drinks and food were fantastic. Highly recommend for a day out.

This was a massive area with so many beautiful cacti and succulents. Lots of flowers, paths and photo areas to take pictures. Ticket was 25$ pp, but I’d say it’s worth it.

It’s taken me a couple of days to process my thoughts on my visit on Wednesday 27/8/25 for lunch with three others. We arrived just before lunch signed in walked around and looked at the menu to decide our lunch order. Two of us went to the counter. On arrival we were waiting in line while the young gentleman was serving a customer. That’s an entirely another story. We ordered our meals of which we had a chicken parmigiana and a chicken burger with salad and chips, roast lamb, and the soup. The chicken parmigiana you were described as a reheat, reheat, reheat, burnt crispy and virtually uneatable with chips that stuck together. The chicken burger was dry, and the chips again were stuck together hadn’t been shaken the overall presentation of the four meals I would write as a -10. It was an absolute disgrace, and I can say that I would never recommend going there for a meal under these conditions to this stage.. I went to a local pub last night. We had four meals and to say the chicken parmigiana was beautifully presented everything on all four plates was outstanding. The price of drinks was nearly half the price of your of your organization. I am writing this so you can take note look at your staff on how they talk to people and how you present the food because it is a disgrace for an organization that prides itself on customers and providing good service thank you.

We were a group of 8 ...we ordered before 7pm and eventually got our meals at 9pmand later...like really? By that time we were past eating ,the food was very average, the chips were good though and saved the hunger. No apologies were offered for a long wait, we were not the only table having this experience This is the last time l will pay in cash and not get a receipt of proof of purchase to enable a refund, maybe they could have offered us all a free drink or at the very least just come to us and say we are short staffed tonight Very poor form Barham Club

We booked a birthday for 22 people. The staff we had serving our table was extremely rude. She snapped at multiple members of our party. And literally threw plates of food that bounced across the table to our stunned selves. We found out her name was Taylor. As we decided that she personally deserved a terrible review. The excuse for the poor behaviour was that 'they were busy tonight'. After complaining in person we then were served by a much nicer staff member (didn't get her name). Other than that the food was decent as was the rest of the venue. That's why 2 stars rathe than zero.. Just no excuse for being terribly rude when it's your job and you are getting paid to deliver customer service. We will not be back.

The club just hosted the World Bowls Champions of Champions 🏆 The whole week was amazing. Hats off to everyone involved. First class venue. Photo courtesy of cluBarham.

Staff very friendly Meals were nice and hot, came out quickly and great portion size. Clean venue and great atmosphere

Meals were amazing. Service by staff spectacular. Only issue we had was not being aware of where the restaurant was located. We were booked into accommodation at golf course and everything on website points to the restaurant being onsite.

First class facilities and staff! Cannot say enough about ALL the staff. From Josh on security to Steve and Lisa. Need a facility like thi at home. Had a great time

A great place to go for a walk and enjoy nature and bird sighting.

I love the new lights they've put up around the lake. Went down there last night. I love it. The light poles change colours. Very cool to see. Great BBQ areas all around Lake too

I had such a great time ! The atmosphere was so peaceful and relaxing. The views were beautiful, especially around sunset, perfect spot for a walk or just to sit and enjoy nature. It’s clean, well-maintained, and great for families or solo visits.

My mum and I had a lovely lunch 🥙 and chat on the lake over EasterI Its so soothing and relaxing. I’ve decided we have to go there more often when I’m visiting.

Victoria Park Lake is a focal point of Shepparton. Nice for a stroll or relax. There’s BBQ's available in the adjoining park. Lots of bird life to enjoy. Pelicans too. Some nice seating and picnic areas by local manufacturer Furphy Foundry. Worth a stop if you’re in the area!

This lake is very beautiful place for family outing ,kids.it had a very good walking track around the lake with lots of pretty native birds .lots of greenery ,tall trees and pleanty of fresh air. This is a place you must vist if ur comming to shepparton.

This a very scenic lake full of birdlike and a very serene area in the centre of Shepparton to exercise or picnic

Surprisingly good range of vehicles, very well presented. Fun experience with a decent (albeit slightly pricey) café just next door. The collection changes as well, so one person I went with who's been before was saying that was a cool feature of the place, and I agree. Some great and rare pieces of motor history.

I have never been to a motor museum where the exhibits were as spotless as these ones. Everything was immaculately presented. There was a good range of cars, trucks, and very thing in between. Would definitely recommend a visit. Well worth the very reasonable ticket entry price.

This place is fantastic for all ages. It has it all. The concept is really interesting even if you are not a car enthusiast. Highly recommend.

So many different things to see! Much more than just cars and motorbikes. A couple of hours passed before we know it. The staff are really friendly and the amenities spotless.

Very cool collection of cars, motor bikes, push bikes, trucks and even buses. Newer models, older models and everything inbetween. Well presented and displayed!

An unexpected great find in Shepparton. Fascinating history of bikes, cars and trucks. Well worth spending a couple of hours. Also an extensive collection of 200 year old clothing.

Fantastic museum - something for everyone. I'm not normally into "fashion", but the amazing collection of historic bridal and evening gowns, handicrafts, as well as "what every genteel gentleman would wear", is well worth seeing. Also antique sound equipment, and other interesting items. The boys (young and old) will enjoy the classic cars, trucks, fire engines, not to mention the history of the classic LOCALLY MADE "furphy" with some great historic items on display. And if you don't know what a furphy is, all the more reason to visit and broaden your knowledge of great Australian inventions. And when you've seen it all, pop next door for some lunch at the cafe. Or have a chocolate apple!!

Great district to visit. Step back in time. See and experience the old world in modern comfort. Steam Trains, Horse & carriage, Paddle Steamers - all ready to experience. Can get very busy. Bookings recommended on Peak Days

Port of Echuca feels like being transported back in time. The restored wharf, the smell of the river gums, and the creak of timber all give it a charming old-town vibe that’s hard to find elsewhere. The highlight is watching and riding the historic paddle steamers still operating on the Murray, hearing the chug of their engines and the whistle echoing off the water is pure nostalgia. Around the wharf you’ll also spot an old steam engine on display and plenty of rustic, heritage-style buildings that complete the old-school river-port atmosphere. Great place for a stroll, photography, or a ride on one of the paddleboats. A must-see if you’re in Echuca!

A great historical area focussed on the Murray River riverboats and related industries. Some of these industries are still practised here for tourists. Some good eating places and enough to fill in your day and go on a paddle boat cruise.

the Port of Echuca delivers a memorable day out that celebrates Australia’s inland waterways. The Port of Echuca, located at 74 Murray Esplanade, is a captivating riverside gem that encapsulates the rich maritime and cultural heritage of Victoria’s Murray River region. Visited on a September sunny afternoon, this historic precinct left me enchanted with its blend of nostalgia, natural beauty, and free access, making it an unmissable stop for travelers and locals alike. Often dubbed the "Paddle Steamer Capital of Australia," this vibrant hub offers a step back in time while delivering a modern-day experience that’s both educational and relaxing. The port’s free entry is a delightful surprise, allowing unrestricted exploration of its sprawling 5-hectare site along the Murray River. The star attraction is the restored wharf, a bustling hub in the 19th century when Echuca was a vital trade link between Melbourne and inland Australia. Walking the wooden planks, I marveled at the historic paddle steamers docked along the riverbank, including the iconic PS Alexander Arbuthnot and PS Emmylou, which offer paid cruises but are a sight to behold even from shore. The wharf’s interpretive signs vividly recount tales of paddle steamers hauling wool, timber, and supplies, with over 200 vessels once operating from this port. The adjacent Star Hotel, dating back to 1860, and the working blacksmith forge add authentic touches, while the Discovery Centre provides interactive exhibits on the river’s ecology and Indigenous history—perfect for families or history buffs. The setting itself is a draw, with the Murray River’s glassy waters reflecting the red gums and willow trees lining the banks. I spent time on the grassy esplanade, enjoying a spontaneous picnic with views of the historic bridge and passing houseboats, a nod to the region’s thriving tourism. The port’s layout encourages leisurely wandering, with pathways leading to the Echuca Wharf Brewery for a craft beer or the Port of Echuca Coffee Lounge for a caffeine fix. The free daily events, like the 1 PM cannon firing (weather permitting), add a lively touch, though I missed it by minutes—next time, I’ll time my visit better. Accessibility is excellent, with flat paths suitable for wheelchairs and prams, and ample parking nearby. The only minor quibble is the lack of shaded seating during peak summer heat, but the riverside breeze mitigates this. For a deeper dive, paid options like the 1-hour paddle steamer cruise ($35 adults) or the 1860s Historic Precinct entry ($15) are worth considering, but the free experience alone—spanning the wharf, gardens, and river views—offers immense value. Whether you’re drawn by the paddle steamer heritage, the chance to spot pelicans, or simply a peaceful riverside escape, the Port of Echuca delivers a memorable day out that celebrates Australia’s inland waterways.

Really pretty little place with lots to see. We did the port after dark tour too which was really interesting. I really enjoyed our Echuca stay.

Wonderful place to visit to learn about the history of Echuca-Moama area. Also gives a good idea about how steam engines revolutionized the way people worked and their day to day activities.

Great short trip down the river and back. Very pet friendly. Great people operating boat. Does have a little coffee/alcohol bar.

As lovers of cars and all things old and nostalgic, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. It was a little muggy inside (hot day outside) but it was only a minor inconvenience. Great collection of Holdens and Holden memorabilia. Dog friendly too.

Loved our visit to the National Holden Motor Museum. As a mechanic it was great to see all the different models of Holdens from the past decades. There are also some prototype models as well as models used in the product development process. Super interesting place to visit even if you're not a car fanatic. Definitely recommend it if you're in the area or just passing through. There's also a great giftshop which has something for any car nut. Not just Holden fans.

If you’re a car fan or even interested in history the Holden Museum is a must when you’re in Echuca! There’s so much to see and you can get really close to some great and rare examples of Australian motor engineering. Ticket prices are very reasonable and you won’t be disappointed!

A great museum with a range of classic and modern Holden’s that are swapped out every couple of months. With an affordable $10 entry to the museum itself, it grants access for either a 10 minute walk-in-walk-out or more than hour of in-depth reading into the history and information of Holden. The staff are super friendly and approachable and appreciate a good conversation. Overall the National Holden Motor Museum is a must visit for car enthusiasts keen on looking into the discontinued Holden name or rather, just to kill a bit of time while visiting Echuca.

Really great place to visit even if you're not a Holden fanatic (like me). The 50 cars on display are in prime condition and laid out very well. Lots of memorabilia on display as well. The 2 guys that were on duty were friendly and didn't mind a chat. A very informative visit. 👍

Great place for adults to visit to remember their youth & appreciate the vast range of cars that were produced under the Holden banner. The entrance fee was reasonable & the owners were very good about allowing visitors to wander around at their own pace, to get close to the cars & willing to provide information when asked. Well worth a visit, even if you're not particularly interested in cars 'per se'. The evolution of design, the beauty of the vehicles & the historical aspects of the display are inestimable.

Wasn't bad, I'm not a big Holden fan, some others would love it more. That said it was interesting to see the history of Holden from before my time all in one spot. Entry price was fair and plenty of parking available.

Staff are very welcoming, and Neil's enthusiasm and knowledge is great, as well as entertaining. Apart from the mind boggling array of beer related stuff, there are lots of other gems from years gone by. Make sure you also explore the displays outside, including the shipping containers out behind the car park. Number 1 rated attraction in Echuca for a reason.... well worth a visit.

A really worthwhile place to visit. The owner will greet you at the door and gives a great presentation. He is one character and a half and has the best Aussie personality and a great knowledge of the recent Australian past. You will learn things from him you never knew. Was glad we made the effort to visit.

What a delight! We popped into the Great Aussie Beer Museum while in Echuca and were absolutely charmed. The place is so much more than beer though as you’ll find walls of vintage beer cans, brewery relics, retro signs, old petrol pumps, restored automobiles, farm machinery, soda dispensers, and more.  A huge shout out to Neil an absolute legend, the owner whose passion and knowledge of Australian history, culture, and memorabilia really bring the collection to life. He took time to explain many of the items, cracked a few jokes, and made the experience personal and memorable.  The atmosphere is delightfully nostalgic and rustic it’s like stepping back in time. There’s a sense that every object has a story. The restored cars and machinery especially add a touch of old-school charm.  If you’re in Echuca, do not skip this museum. It’s a passion project that’s well worth your time and admission.

Neil was so friendly, greeted us in the car park and explained the best way to view everything. What a place. Everyone should visit at least once. Need a minimum of 1 hour. Would be great to hold a function there.

Alan and Bryan were great tour guides and gave us a lot of information. They were super knowledgeable and friendly. We saw so many great Australian pieces and were blown away by how big the collection actually is. The stories behind some of the items were also very interesting. We visited on the 11/10/2025 and will definitely be back

This is a great place to visit if you want to experience things from days gone by. Awesome people. Awesome collection of old things. Make sure you stay for the presentation.

Had an awesome time at The Great Shed so much to look at from the past . Make sure you have a good hour to 2 hrs to look at everything. Neil’s talk about some of his collection was fun and informative. Jacks Shed is the best , beautiful cars . Thank you Neil, from Paul & princess Cate lol 16/11/25

The statue is mounted on a dark, polished plinth that bears the name "BLACK CAVIAR" in elegant lettering. The base is surrounded by vibrant greenery and pink flowers, adding a touch of natural beauty to the memorial. The clear blue sky in the background provides a lovely contrast to the dark tones of the statue, making it stand out prominently. The lighting suggests it might be late afternoon or early morning, casting soft shadows that enhance the three-dimensional form of the sculpture.

An impressive town, so beautifully maintained, so clean, great lawns and walkways around the outstanding lake view. A few great cafes and restaurants, accommodation options and a cracking looking playground and water park.

Statue sitting on the banks of Lake Nagambie in the main street. The horse was such an icon for both racing and non racing fraternity. Lovely town also.

The view of the lake is so good! Very nice cafes and pubs just down the rd.

Pretty little town by Lake Nagambie. Interesting racing history. Pleasant lake views from the statue.

A nice statue of this legendary racing horse in the area where she was breed and raised.

A nice statue with a great backdrop of the Nagambie Lake. It's a pleasant addition to the quaint town of Nagambie, and worth a photo and a read if you're in town. Statue is not difficult to miss and there is plenty of parking in the side road in front of the statue. A pleasant stop-off with walks to the nearby lake - worth a visit for sure.

Decided to stop in for lunch. We were not disappointed. With a few tables available we were set for a great lunch. Awesome service and delicious food. We decided on the Pepperberry Pork belly with a side of green beans Then dessert was Red wine poached pear and the Apple crumble.

Location is pristine, right by the side of billabong with peace and tranquillity. Food is delivered fast and tastes marvellous, friendly customer service and particularly liked the way staff explained the history of the place and the menu. Beverages are unique and pleasing. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming. Ample parking space to accommodate large crowds. The drive is beautiful to the venue and by itself offers a unique experience.

A fair bit out of the way but definitely worth it. Outlook over the billabong. Lovely spacious interior with beautiful wood detailing and superb decor. Tables well separated. The atmosphere was 6/5. We shared an entree which was new to the menu and was delicious. Wife had Barramundi and I had Beef Cheek. We each had a glass of superior quality wine. We each had dessert and shared a glass of dessert wine. I had a coffee. The meal was outstanding in every way. Presentation and flavour top notch. Quantity just right (not too small!). Service was that nice laid back Australian style where they look after you, friendly without being too familiar and you feel good about it. It wasn't cheap but this was one of the best meals we've had in a while and it was definitely worth it and the travelling a bit further.

Warmly greeted on arrival, were shown you our table. The menu fantastic almost too much to choose from. The arancini balls Devine, ciabatta with balsamic vinegar excellent. Beef cheeks cooked to perfection, just melt in your mouth. Great wines, including 2017 1860’s Shiraz. An absolutely amazing experience. Would recommend highly

Had a wonderful time here celebrating my birthday! The restaurant itself was lovely, the food interesting and delicious and the service very friendly. Unfortunately I forgot the name of our waitress but she had blue and pink split dyed hair. Anyway, she did a great job and answered all our questions happily. We had the special Good Friday 2 course meal including one glass of wine for $65 pp. This was very reasonable, we were just a bit sad that the wine that was included in that price didn't necessarily include something we liked 100% so we went with the next best and then in addition ordered a bottle of moscato which we highly enjoyed. The pink moscato was so delicious! We had a variety of food between us 4. We tried the lemon and sage pasta, the roast lamb, the truffle croquettes, the meat platter and the cheese board. We were very satisfied with everything. We honestly had such a great time with our friends here. After our lunch we headed for a walk behind the restaurant looking at the wine fields. We are not from the area but we will certainly return when we are again! 🍷🧀🥖

Stunning location with peaceful billabong views, delicious food, and warm, attentive staff. A must visit in the region!

I had lunch with my friends at Tahbilk Estate Restaurant. We ordered House Made Mushroom, Parmesan & Truffle Croquettes $21 (there’s nothing special about this dish) Roast & Brined free-range chicken breast $40 (chicken is tender and juicy) Tahbilk Seacuterie plate $68 (this plate comes with 3 pieces of oysters and 3 pieces of prawns and salmon roe crème fraiche) it’s very pricy compared with what we get from this dish Chargrilled 230g Angus Eye Fillet Steak $58 (this quality steak was cooked to perfection) Sweet potato chips (this is my favourite item from the table) Overall, service is not up to the standard. Need to call the server to top up water and server told us they don’t have anything to pack for our left over sweet potato chips)
