Kangaroo Valley

Australia

A couple of hours south of Sydney, nestled between Shoalhaven and the Southern Highlands is this curious village.

Set in to a mountain pocket it plays host to morning mists and a mix of birdlife and offers the perfect break on a coastal drive.

Exploring Kangaroo Valley

With its quirky collection of country-style boutiques and fragrant fruit orchards it is a wonderful place to explore; take a stroll to see Hampden Bridge, a charming sandstone suspension bridge built in the 1890s, and visit the local pioneer farm museum for a glimpse into the colourful regional history and finally quench your thirst with a cool ’stubbie’ in the original stone pub.

Make sure you take time to experience the grand views from the peak of Cambewarra Mountain, twenty minutes west of neighbouring Nowra, before heading north to Sydney, or south to Victoria.
