An adventure playground & recreational area surrounded by natural bushland, the famous Riesling Trail & a manicured oval, there is something for everyone. The main attractions are a flying fox, a climbing structure, mega slide, flying saucer swing & dual swing set all intertwined by paths, a creek bed & native plants. The next few months will see the installation of a BBQ, tables, chairs & shelter

We had a day and half and made good use of Burra Passport, which costs $30 per person, which gives you access to a key to a number of historic sites. We enjoyed the goal, the old mine site, and the cottage. The town oozes history, with many of the houses with blue plaques recording the history of previous residents. The tourist office is staffed with enthusiastic ambassadors for the town. My only area of improvement would be the Bob Accord Mining Site, which wants to charge an extra fee for access, make it simple and have one entry for all.

A wonderful way to explore the Clare Valley and the vineyards on foot or bike is along the Riesling Trail, a repurposed railway line, which stretches thirty three kilometres between Auburn and Barinia. Due to limited time and extreme weather conditions, high temperatures and winds, we had to cancel our half-day plans to hike south from Clare to discover the nearby countryside and vineyards. Instead we parked our car near the 'Mob of Sheep' outdoor installation and hiked south for fifteen mnutes fortunately mostly in the shade then back. Disappointing for us but on our future travel list.

Magnificent waterfalls, just a 15 minutes drive from Tumbarumba, heading towards Tooma. Short walk to the viewing platform (less than 100m) and little further to falls. Great opportunity for photography.

What a glorious place to take in the views and walk down beneath the thundering waterfalls. Formed by Hexagonal columns of a remnant basalt flow. Picnic tables, lookout and toilets.

A fabulous initiative which is attracting wildlife and birds with the water and native vegetation. Win win. You can easily cycle around, or walk. But I wouldnt walk on hot days. Have a look and get some ideas for what to plant in your own garden.
