Bundanoon Travel Guide

 tiabunna Says:  Our top priority was to have a coffee at Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe. It’s been there for many years and, while the main subject of conversation once may have been “how are your spokes?”, it’s now “how do you want your coffee?” ! Yes, coffee culture is alive and well in Bundanoon... 

 Adagio1 Says:  Bundanoon is just a wonderful place for people who love to walk. There are serious bush walks through Morton National Park. Do let the ranger or someone responsible know where you are going and when you expect to get back. Around the village there are many short walks an...

 iandsmith Says:  The opening shot gives you a good indication of the carpark there though it doesn't show the toilets which are convenient but not all that well maintained.The next shot is a telephoto looking down to the river which you can access by walking the spur trail (pic 4). It's a... 

 iandsmith Says:  The spectacular overview of the Shoalhaven River looking from Bungonia Gorge down towards the coast is well worth a diversion as shown in the previous tip.There's more to look at than just that however and the dimunitive wild flowers that dot the Australian bush scene are on... 

 iandsmith Says:  There was a lookout on the map that looked enticing. It was somewhat south of Bundanoon and its name was Long Point. Apparently it has better facilities than the one I ended up at because it's in the Morton National Park.In fact, the one I ended up at had little publicity... 

 iandsmith Says:  I'd tried to get a shot here the first time I came. Cloud, rain and drifting mist served to negate this option. All that after I'd risen early. I wasn't happy.A lookout with such a name must be a worthy sight I imagained.In truth, when I returned in more favourable... 

 iandsmith Says:  This is your classic Aussie bushwalk, albeit a relatively short one. We were a little put out to see people coming back who said it was too much for them but, as one of them required a cane, we realised eventually what had happened.It transpires that there's a steepish... 

 iandsmith Says:  This is one of the lookouts quite near Bundanoon, in the national park whose entrance can almost be seen from the CBD.This is quite easy to get to as the road goes right there and you don't have to walk other than alighting from your vehicle and stretching your legs.It's one... 

 iandsmith Says:  Open House of Bundanoon boasts a fantastic selection of gifts for all occasions.From homewares to linen, including a great range of children's puzzles and toys. This is your typical touristy arty crafty type place of the kind you come to expect in the Southern... 

 iandsmith Says:  Bundanoon Pottery & Gallery is basically the last shop in THE block that is the CBD of Bondanoon. Unfortunately, despite its enticing appearance, there was no-one in attendance the day I was there and subsequent attempts to glean information have proved fruitless.It's either... 

 iandsmith Says:  I'll quote you here from an email I sent at the time:"When I returned up the steps and back to the motorhome where I’d left Rosemarie I was removing my footwear when I heard so many birds I had to stop and listen to their raucous cries. Currawongs, whipbirds, wrens,... 

 iandsmith Says:  Around the traps there's titbits of interesting architecture.This attractive two storey place is near the easternmost railway bridge, though its days as a restaurant are obviously gone. The marks left by this use make it very photogenic however and the renovated classic... 

 iandsmith Says:  There are some lovely colours around in Bundanoon, most notably in spring when the bedding blooms appear and the cherry pink and apple blossom white make their presence felt, along with the magnolia (pic 2).In the forest other plants stand out, most notably the wattle (pic... 

 iandsmith Says:  This spot had "wow factor" written all over it. The problem was, how to get to it. Though it was clearly visible from the trail, access to it was difficult and definitely only for the adventurous at heart. Getting a few clear photos wasn't going to be easy and that was... 

 tiabunna Says:  Fitzroy Falls are one of the main attractions in the Morton National Park and also a the site of a major office of the National Parks Service. There is a good carpark (parking costs $3A), an visitor centre with a good display and sales outlet for park-related materials, plus... 

 tiabunna Says:  Bundanoon is almost on the edge of the Morton National Park, though we didn’t visit the area closest to the town . It rather seems that part of this Park was declared a nature reserve in the 1800s. Now it is one of the largest National Parks in NSW, taking in the southern...
