Welcome to The Seven Valleys
From the wonders of the Glow Worm Tunnel to the wild majesty of the Wolgan, the Seven Valleys encompasses over 4500 square kilometres of inspiring natural beauty and countless attractions to explore and discover. (You can learn more about why it is called the Seven Valleys by clicking here.)
Experience everything from colonial Hartley to indigenous sites belonging to our first nation peoples; stand in awe at the immenseness of the Capertee; stay in family-friendly cabins, houses and hotels, or just go camping or glamping under the stars. You can enjoy horse riding, fishing, boating or water skiing, visit the famous Tarana markets, spoil yourself with a spa treatment – or just escape, relax and rejuvenate in front of a roaring log fire.
In fact, there are so many things to see and do around here, we’ve written a book. Click here or on the image below to read or download our Visitor Guide – and discover all the unique attractions of our region.
