This area offers the true flavour of country Australia – the historic villages of Braidwood and Bungendore, colonial architecture and great food and wine. Braidwood, which presents a superb example of a 19th-century streetscape, was the first town in NSW to be heritage-listed. Bungendore's historic inn and local galleries are a great draw for visitors.

The lively city of Queanbeyan revels in its sporting, cultural and artistic communities. Just 10 minutes’ drive from Canberra, it’s a booming city that still retains a country town atmosphere.

The region boasts Deua National Park, one of the state’s largest natural forests, and Monga National Park nearby.
