Some of the most majestic views you will come across in the Southern Highlands are from the National Park at Fitzroy Falls. As you can see, even on a misty day, a visit here provides a breathtaking experience.
In the Mist at Fitzroy Falls
There are numerous walking tracks, that can take you from a few minutes to a couple of hours to walk. The lookouts you come across along the way are bound to delight you, and give you views of not just the water falls
a moment of visibility in the mist
but views from various perspectives overlooking the escarpment.
A long or a short walk - either will reveal the beauty of this National Park.
There is an enormous variety of plant life. Eucalypts, ferns, Banksias, a variety of Lichen and fungi.
fungi growing on a moist rock
At this time of year it is often misty. The mist I’m sure has been pre-arranged, to prompt you to look at the many other things that appeal besides the view. Keep your eyes peeled, look around you. You may even see a Lyre Bird!
These little members of the fungi family were growing vertically out from a moist rock. Wonderful aren’t they?
Every now and again, return to a lookout to see what ever changing sights the rolling mist reveals.
When you’ve walked up an appetite, warm up in the Visitors’ Centre Cafe with a freshly made soup, home made pie, topped with mashed potatoes or maybe just a hot coffee, and a muffin just out of the oven.
The Fitzroy Falls Visitors’ Centre also has an information centre and shop. Here you can ask staff about the Fitzroy Falls National Park, as well as any other National Park. The Visitors’ Centre can provide you with daily or annual passes, check for available camping sites in other areas, and will ensure your visit to Fitzroy Falls is an enjoyable one.
The shop has a variety of locally made products, and feature a different local artist monthly. Well worth a visit.

Belmore Falls provides an exquisite place to visit and explore. There are rock pools, water falls, picnic spots and plenty of bushwalks. Belmore Falls can be accessed from Robertson, taking the Belmore Falls Road or from Fitzroy Falls taking the Myra Vale Rd.
THE BURRAWANG HOTEL
Nestled in the lush green hills of the Southern Highlands about 2 hours south of Sydney is the little village of Burrawang where you will find the Burrawang Hotel.
The hotel was built in 1928 and has been owned and nurtured to its present high ranking by Ed and Julie Woolfrey for the last 16 years.
They are both hands on owners and this shows. Hospitality is the name of the game, and this couple have put together a winning combination of great tasting modern country food, and warm country hospitality.
Lunch time menu consists of burgers, soups, home made filo pies, and vegetarian dishes. Dinner menu varies and always includes a delicious roast.
The pub has been ‘touched up’ rather than refurbished, and still proudly boosts its age, but has the added features of beautiful scenic outdoor terraced seating, overlooking a view that the Highlands is reknowned for.
Inside, the lounge area has an open fireplace and comfortable lounges. The diningroom holds a true country ambiance, with a fire, and wooden tables with checkers games, and the bar sells some great local wines and beers.
For a glorious drive and a great outing not too far from the big smoke, try the Burrawang Hotel, and if you decide to stay they have both very comfortable hotel accomodation, as well as B&B style luxurious spa suites with spectacular views.
