What a great thing to do on the weekend.

Maquarie River

Reviewed By Kerryn72 - Melbourne, Australia

Nice river- a little dirty today though, perhaps after the recent floods. Behind the shopping strip there is a small park and walking track along the river. Pleasant place to sit and chill. Beware of mozzies though!

Terramungamine Reserve and Rock Grooves

Reviewed By lady5000 - Sydney, Australia

There is a very short walk along the riverside to the several places where the grinding grooves are clearly visible. Wonderful that they have not been vandalized. The trees alongside the river are superb but there are so many weeds that need clearing. Saw a Pelican and I'm sure other birds would come here.

The Pastoral Hotel Bar and Grill

Reviewed By Hobo56 - Greater Sydney, Australia

We were picked up and returned to our accommodation in the Hotel’s courtesy bus. The upstairs dining room is accessible by lift or stairs and is a large area that offers a range of seating and table options. We ordered the steak and it was excellent, well cooked and presented. They have a very good range of beers on tap and wine list. We were very happy that we took the opportunity to have dinner here.

Plenty of different options when it comes to clothing, homeware, eating in, games, stationary and many more. Shops were all well-presented and the mall itself is clean. Free parking is a big plus for me, it encourages people to stay and shop. Definitely worth checking out.
