One of the year's highlights is the annual Billy Cart Derby. This small fishing town is located right on the estuary of the Brunswick River at the Pacific Ocean. For generations, it's been known to a select crowd as a peaceful place for family holidays. Flash and fast, it's not. The slow moving Brunswick River is lined with lovely parks much favoured with people with small children, and the river itself is an excellent location for all manner of water sports from row-boating to fishing.
Beaches are quiet and uncrowded, with miles of smooth white sand.
At the boat harbour, the fishermen's cooperative shop stocks fresh seafood caught by the local trawler fleet, as well as fish and chips to take away. Slurp on mouth-watering local oysters, while watching the boats coming in with happy pelicans. An annual event is the Brunswick Fish'N'Chip Festival , bringing in the crowds to participate and watch its fishing and wood-chopping competitions. The Brunswick Pub has a beer-garden facing the Brunswick River that's popular with locals. As well as providing good, solid pub food for lunch and dinner, there is often live music at weekends.
