Great little town to spend The Good clean basic accommodation with everything you need to be comfortable. Its a short easy walk to the main street. Two waterfalls, one in town and Philosopher falls, close by, are spectacular. We ran out of time to see Hellyer Gorge but were told it was well worth a visit. You can walk to the lake and view Platypus at dawn or dusk. A small museum, gallery and information about the history of the town is interesting. The cafe in town has simple meals, a wood fire, a good atmosphere and friendly owners. There is a local guide who will give you quad bike tours of the old mines. Information for this is available from the cafe and he is just a phone call away.
Plenty to keep you occupied for a day and overnight stay.
