The publicans in our Shire have helped put together this Tour Guide.

The "Pubs" are a great place to get local stories and most have memorabilia displays ready for visitors.

  • Visit the old mining town of Cracow. You may be lucky enough to encounter the ghost that lurks around the old boarding house. A cold drink and a counter meal at the Cracow hotel is a must.
