It was beautiful coming into Picton on the Celebrity Solstice and we were glad we got up to see the ship dock here. It is a lovely small town & there was an outdoor market the day we were there.

We walked this track one evening in December and really enjoyed it (apart from the short hail storm at the beginning). It's a somewhat steep track up from the Garden Terrace end and you'll want shoes that give you some traction (no flipflops/jandals). There's a really nice view of town and the bay from the top and the walk down toward town isn't bad. According to my Garmin, it was a 3.15 km hike (not round trip) that took us 1:15 and we were walking fairly slowly.

Lots of information. Great place to pick up souvenirs. Pick up stop for many tour operators. Steam train directly across the street. Be sure to check out the free toilets outside.

A fitting tribute to those men who gave their life for a better future for others. Some may say it’s in a strange location but considering ships sailed out of this port, I believe that the organisation got it right. A beautiful backdrop that softens what to many is a somber memorial. “Lest we forget”
