Bargo Dingo Sanctuary

The picturesque Picton Botanic Gardens is a favourite location amongst locals for taking a walk, picnic or a relaxing break at any time of the day. Look out for the three native bee bells hanging among the pine trees, and feel free to join in the Parkrun event here every Saturday morning. Listen to the audio guide for more details of the Botanic Gardens and the beehives. When you’re done here, stop by one of the local eateries in Picton or pick up supplies for the rest of your day trip.

Australian Wildlife Sanctuary

Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 2 hours and 10 minutes to complete. This trail is great for hiking and walking, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring. It is not recommended you swim as the river can be dangerous in some locations.

\
Make sure you bring fresh water, a map and first aid kit. WiFi can be limited.

Potholes Loop Walk

The Bargo Railway Viaduct, completed in 1919, makes this a spectacular place to put on your joggers, grab your camera and walk amongst Mother Nature at the Bargo River State Conservation Area where you can find a number of significant species of native flora and fauna, some of which are rare and endangered.

\
The short walking track leads from the picnic area to a sandstone cave through which a stream runs, exiting into a shallow gorge surrounded by a stunning rainforest.
