Check out the wildlife park and meet some koalas, emus and some cool birds and wildlife! Best thing is it's free to walk around, but to see the koalas you have to get there at a certain time for the show.

Sightseeing
The Bogey Hole
Must see and walk down to this site. Old convict bath cut into the rocks. Beautiful for a quiet dip on a nice sunny day or for a nice walk to see some pretty sights.
The pin isn't quite in the right spot head further south until the road tees, and turn into left.
