Peter Jarver Gallery is a large and beautiful, iconic art gallery featuring Peter Jarver's incredible, spectacular, panoramic, landscape photographs of Australia.

We visited the Peter Jarver gallery by chance and were not disappointed . The landscape photography on show was stunning, enough for us to purchase one. The best landscape photography we have had the pleasure of viewing, thank you Peter Jarver ! The depth and detail of the photos are stunning . We cannot wait to have one of Peters works on our living room wall for years of pleasurable viewing .

Nice walk, best done early morning. Recommended to take insect repellent as march flies are notorious and do sting. I had terrible reactions and was covered in inflamed, itchy bites for weeks. Other than that I really enjoyed the walk.

Highly recommend even if you don’t do the Skyrail or train you can easily drive to the falls and follow down the natural wetlands to the viewing platform.

The Hypipamee crater is a really unusual thing to see, small but way down deep in a rock outcrop. The path there is well maintained through the forest. The viewing platform maximises the views of the crater and gives that wow factor. Definitely worth a visit.

What a wonderful and informative experience. Amazing exhibits and movement sensors that start the audio commentary. Whether you are interested in the history of tobacco farming, early explorers, mining or local history, this is the place for you. Think Herberton Historical village but on a smaller scale. Definitely worth a visit. Not air conditioned inside so recommend a visit in winter.

This place is amazing seeming it was formed from a volcanic eruption many years ago and the lake formed in the crater.Lovely quiet walk around the gardens and lake.There is a quaint tea house on the lake for light refreshments snacks and scones,so tranquil, worth a visit.And her sister lake,Lake Eacham is only 20 mins away,so nice to visit that as well.
