There are so many fun things to see and do along the Kings Highway it's a wonder where to start! There's always something happening in the towns and villages - show days, rodeos, country shows and the like. But don't forget about the awesome natural wonders located in our magical National Parks and State Forests. There's some serious adventuring to do out there! Here's just a few ideas for you...

Our Great Outdoors section provides you with all you need to know about unreal camping spots, bushwalks that aren't too difficult (and which have some hidden surprises!) - like Penance Grove at the Monga National Park and the Bendethera Caves in the Deua National Park.

Other awesome activities in this section include BMX riding spots, 'cool' swimming areas and top spots to drop a line if you're into fishing. What a great way to spend the weekend with Mum or Dad and a group of friends!



Neigggghhh! This gorgeous horse is just one of a huge stable full at Saddlecamp, located just outside Braidwood. Saddlecamp is a girls only riding school that is all about friendship, fun and real adventure that all happens in bushranger country. This riding school is great for riders of all levels and perfect for beginners! For more information on this unique school-holiday option click here.

And while you're in the country, don't forget about Country Shows, Race Day and Rodeos from Queanbeyan to Moruya. Check out these links and write the dates in mums diary, so she doesn't forget! These events have so much to offer: farmyard animal displays; shearing competitions; dog races; pony rides; ferris wheels and other rides.


The Vintage Steam Train (below) that travels from Canberra to Bungendore and back is a wonderful journey for people of all ages. Pack the family and a picnic for the ride of a lifestime! Travel through tunnels and over bridges. Experience the natural wonder of the Great Divide and the scenic Molonglo Gorge - all a luxurious 100 year old carriage!
