An outdoor memorial honouring miners who died in local coal mines, with interpretive panels and a striking sculpture. Quiet but powerful, set in a small park.

An elevated platform with info boards overlooking the Grosvenor coal mine. Gives scale to the region's biggest industry. No staff, just the view.

💡 Drive out for sunrise or sunset — the mine lights are spectacular against the dark sky. Hard hats not required here, but sturdy shoes.

A volunteer-run garden with vegetables, herbs, and native plants. Open to wander through and see what's growing. Benches to sit on.

🕐 Open 24 hours, best daylight

💡 Stop by on a Saturday morning during growing season — volunteers often give away excess produce. Don't pick without asking.

A patch of native bush with walking trails, birdlife, and picnic benches. Good for a short walk without leaving town.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 Go early morning to see wallabies and avoid the heat. Take water — no taps in the reserve.
