    The homestead and Hostess exceeded all expectations. It was great to learn the history and find we had a connection with the Studholme family.

There are many historic buildings around town for visitors to explore while checking out the main street that also offers lots of dining/cafe options and local shopping. There is numerous artwork/murals around the town including silo art. Knottingly Park and Victoria Park offer relaxing strolls. The Wallaby Park provides the opportunity to get up close and personal with these loveable marsupials.
