Southern Highlands See & Do

Get Outdoors

A nature-lovers paradise, 1000s of hectares of national parks to explore with cool rivers & waterfalls to discover. For trails & maps go to visitsouthernhighlands.com.au or nationalparks.nsw.gov.au
 

Gardens

If you love gardening or love to wander in magnificent gardens, come celebrate the colour brilliance. Most of the Highlands sits more than 640m above sea level. Spring is fragrant. In Summer if the rains have come life is abundant. Autumn puts on a show & in Winter we rest & prepare for Spring.
