VALLEY VIEW CARAVAN PARK
STEP 1. CHECK INTO CUTE, CASUAL ACCOM
Smack bang in the heart of the King Valley, Valley View Caravan Park offers a peaceful escape with accom options for all styles, budgets and group sizes. There's handy e-bike hire available, a playground for the young ones, picnic spots and a BBQ area – perfect for summer evening get-togethers.
BROOKFIELD MAZE
STEP 2. SOLVE THE MAZE
Tucked away in the foothills of the King Valley is Brookfield Maze , offering up all-ages family fun year-round. Solve the traditional hedge maze and hunt for hidden treasures along the way. Play lawn games, wander the stunning garden, and grab a coffee or house-baked treat at the licensed cafe.
THE KING RIVER
STEP 3. EXPLORE THE KING RIVER
Twisting and turning all the way from the Alpine National Park to Lake William Hovell, the King River , offers up endless fun for all ages. Dotted with easy access points, sandy beaches and quiet shady nooks, this local gem is ideal for families looking have a refreshing dip, throw in a line or skim a few stones.
DARLING ESTATE WINES
STEP 4. PUT YOUR FEET UP, IT'S WINE TASTING TIME
With plenty of grassy space and games to keep the younger ones entertained, the view-heavy Darling Estate Cellar Door is a must-visit. Taste Aligoté, Nebbiolo, Gamay and more in their stunning, accessible space, and select from a tasty menu of share plates like polenta chips and zingy chicken skewers for a casual lunch.
POWERS LOOKOUT
STEP 5. TAKE IN THE SUNSET VIEWS
For stunning sunset views, Powers Lookout has you covered. Once the hideout of notorious (yet 'gentlemanly') 1860s bushranger Harry Powers, this rocky escarpment now features two lookout options - the first has wheelchair and pram access, the second is a short walk and a series of ladders to climb. No matter which way you look, sweeping mountain and valley views await.
