Queanbeyan highlights

The Queanbeyan region, just a stone’s throw from the Australian Capital Territory, is a wonderful mix of city buzz and countryside relaxation.

With that special blend of rich history, stunning views, an involved local council, and a friendly atmosphere, it’s an awesome destination for both locals and visitors.

Whether you’re on the hunt for cultural experiences or nature escapes, the Queanbeyan region has plenty to offer. And if you’re passing through, there’s loads of accommodation options like hotels, motels, and more.

Check out the artsy side with a visit to places like the Queanbeyan Art Society Gallery and the Performing Arts Centre.

For lovers of the great outdoors, the Molonglo Gorge and the Googong Foreshores are fab for getting those legs pumping whilst taking in all the epic scenery.

Wander around Queanbeyan town itself, where you’ll discover a bunch of cafes, shops, and unique spots to explore.

A short drive away, Bungendore is a treasure with its antique stores, art galleries, and classic country accommodations. Braidwood will take you back in time with its colonial buildings, Jerrabomberra offers a laidback feel with its parks and lakes, and Captains Flat has an interesting mining history that’s well worth checking out.

Queanbeyan is packed with so much goodness ready to be enjoyed…. Let’s go!
