Wander, Wonder & Discover: Places of Interest Across the Hilltops
There’s more to the Hilltops than rolling hills and good wine (though we’ve got plenty of that too). Tucked into every town and village across our region are places that tell a story — of who we are, where we’ve come from, and what makes life here so special.
From museums and murals to parks, public pools, and even our community-run cinema, the Hilltops is full of quiet gems waiting to be explored. And now, with the launch of our Places of Interest Directory, it’s easier than ever to plan your next local adventure.
What Counts as a Place of Interest? More Than You Might Think.
This isn’t just about tourist attractions — it’s about the places that locals love and visitors remember. It’s about the spots you take friends when they’re in town. The places you return to for a walk, a think, a swim, or a dose of inspiration.
In this directory, you’ll find:
🏛️ Museums & Heritage Sites – Preserving local stories, from Lambing Flat to Light Horse history
🎨 Public Art & Murals – From silo art to laneway surprises
🎥 The Southern Cross Cinema – The region’s only cinema, fully volunteer-run and full of charm.
🏞️ Parks, Gardens & Lookouts – For picnics, peace, and postcard-worthy views
💦 Swimming Pools – Perfect for a summer splash or some low-key fun
🐴 Historic Sites & Walks – Hidden places that shaped our towns and tell powerful stories
Whether you’re planning a weekend drive, showing off your town to visitors, or just looking for something different to do on a sunny afternoon — there’s something here for you.
Explore Deeper. You Don’t Have to Go Far.
The Hilltops isn’t a place you rush through. It’s a region you take slowly — with time to chat, reflect, and appreciate what’s around you.
And every time you visit a local attraction — whether it’s paid or free — you’re helping keep it going. Museums stay open, community cinemas keep screening, and artists feel seen.
So if you’ve ever said, “There’s nothing to do around here,” now’s your chance to prove yourself wrong.

The Places of Interest Directory is your guide to hidden gems, community favourites, and quiet moments of delight across the Hilltops.
It’s not about ticking off a list — it’s about getting curious, showing up, and seeing familiar places with fresh eyes.
