This is an interesting historic village, sometimes the coffee shop is open. The best part about this place is the boardwalk near the river. It’s a short walk down a steep slope to the edge of the river, where granite rock provides the perfect ledge to sit and dip your toes in the water and soak up the sun. There’s also a shelter converted from remains of one of the huts where you can get a reprieve from the sun.
The boardwalk is 200 metres long and is made from recycled wood plastic composite material, which is made from recycled post consumer timber and plastic waste. When walking along the boardwalk, it’s comforting to know you are walking on 16,800 kilograms of waste that was diverted from landfill! The structure is maintenance free and has a lifespan on 70 years.
The mountain extends to a ridge to your left with giant granite boulders dotting the landscape. The river flows gently on the right. Eventually the boardwalk comes to an end and we see the remains of Rowson’s Hut, along with a few long standing fruit trees.

A quaint village with its pretty main street (known as The Mall) lined with cafes and shops. Buy some lovely scented candles and artworks by local artists, the well-stocked Megalong Books, and Josophan’s Fine Chocolate, which makes its sweet treats by hand, including truffles and rocky road.
