A short street walk from home provides bus transport options to Chartwell shopping centre or central city centre.
Highly recommended is a visit to Hamilton Gardens, 54 hectare botanical gardens situated on the banks of the Hamilton river. Garden developments include, Rose, Chinese, Japanese, Modernist, Indian Char Bagh, Italian Renaissance, Ancient Egyptian, Catherine Mansfield, with development continuing. The Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival is scheduled for 24th Feb - 5th March 2023 which will include food, music performances day and evening.

Also well worth a visit is Zeelong Tea Planation, a very short drive on the outskirts of the city. The attention to detail of this complex is obvious, sculptures interesting and a
lovely place to have hi-tea. https://zealong.com
