2026 Queanbeyan Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in February)

#australiatrip Googong Cascades is one of the hidden gems of the Googong Foreshores region, near Queanbeyan and Canberra. It offers a combination of dramatic granite cliffs,natural water pool, and very easy access Located in the northern part of the Googong Foreshores, the Cascades is an area where water from the Googong Dam flows through a gap in granite rocks, creating a series of small waterfalls and clear pools. Despite its proximity to the dam infrastructure, the atmosphere feels very wild and natural.One of the main attractions is its very short track. Distance: Approximately 200 meters (round trip). Time: 5–15 minutes of leisurely walking. Difficulty: Grade 2 (Easy). The trail is well-established and fairly flat. Although there are some steps and rocky areas around the lookout, Starting Point: Park in the Googong Pump Station area. Don't be surprised if you see an electrical substation at first; the path to nature is right at the end of the parking lot.

#australiatrip Flea Creek is quite an iconic destination for off-road adventure and camping enthusiasts, located within Brindabella National Park, near the border of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).Flea Creek Campground offers a secluded and serene valley setting. This is not a busy "roadside" type of campground; it's a real escape into the wild.Situated in a deep valley beside a clear river, the sounds are dominated by flowing water and birdsong.Very limited (bush camping). There are pit toilets and several designated campfire areas. There is no drinking water, so you must bring your own.The area is quite small and operates on a first-come, first-served basis (or through a booking system via NSW National Parks if the new rules apply).

Lovely weather😍#naturalwonders #travel
