DESTINATION: Hamilton

This pretty town on the Clyde River is full of history, from quaint old cottages that now house craft galleries or offer bed and breakfast, to street foundations that colonials laid out for the ambitious town they dreamt of.

The stories of the town’s lively past are told in the Hamilton Heritage Centre. It’s a quieter place now, but not too quiet - you can fish (Meadowbank Lake is close by), swim, play tennis, go water skiing, and you’re surrounded by beautiful countryside to explore.

Main Attractions

It is a great place to explore Mt Field National Park, Lake Pedder, Bothwell golf museum & oldest golf course, hopfields, wineries and the Salmon Ponds trout fishing museum.

Beyond historic farming settlements of Hamilton and Ouse, the highway climbs into the highlands, crossing rivers where power stations harness the boundless energy of falling water. more
