Food Scene

Shankar works there! It's vegetarian, but non-vegetarians love it too. Lots of gluten-free and vegan options.

Parks & Nature

Stunning native bush with a small river running through it, only 10 minutes from the city centre. Options for easy short walks or 3 hrs and longer. Currently only open Sat-Mon 10am-4pm and they like a $5 donation per person. There is a predator proof fence around it so they also ask for you to check your bag before entering that no mice or rats or possums have snuck in there. A must visit for anyone who likes nature.

Boulder Bank Scenic Reserve
A bit of a windy road (lots of corners, as opposed to being wind swept). But its beautiful and there is a steep walk that goes from there that comes out near the boulder bank.

I haven't made it all the way there yet, but the part that I have done is beautiful (it gets better as you go). We biked and that got to the nice part faster.

Shopping

Saturday market 8am-1pm with lots of local produce, delicacies, craft and lunch options. I recommend buying lunch there and then going to the Cathedral gardens to sit and eat. Often hard to find a park, so easiest is to walk from Willow Tree B&B- it is an easy 10 minute walk.

Sightseeing

Beautiful setting, slightly elevated, but really close to shops etc. Around Christmas time they have a community Christmas Tree display where local groups all decorate a tree.
