For every visitor - A "must do" activity for the visitor or local alike is the riverside walk. Especially peaceful and beautiful at Sunrise and Sunset. It can be entered from many points along the The Terrace with a cement footpath, river gums, landscaping and birdlife.
Our weather - Sometimes it rains, but mostly it's sunny with an annual rainfall of 516 mm.
You can expect hot summers (34.2 + degrees) and cold winters (5.5degrees) and mostly crisp clean days.
The night skies are an astronomers dream. Amongst the brilliant array of stars are The Southern Cross and the Milky Way.
