For a day out that feels a world away, one immersed in nature, curious discoveries and local life, Oakdale and the Burragorang State Conservation Area are the ideal destinations. Within the Wollondilly Shire and on the traditional lands of the Dharawal and Gundungurra people, the Burragorang Lookout is found here, one of the most spectacular lookout spots in New South Wales.

Turning off the Camden Bypass and following the curves of Burragorang Road, you’ll soon arrive in the cosy village of The Oaks. Coined by English botanist George Caley for the she-oaks in the area, it is one of the oldest settled areas in the Macarthur region, established in the 1820s. Located on the traditional lands of the Dharawal and Gundungurra people, The Oaks is a suburb where you will find heritage and country charm in abundance.

Tucked into the agricultural countryside near the township of Camden lies Belgenny Farm, home to Australia’s oldest collection of colonial farm buildings. Located on the traditional lands of the Dharawal people, this State Heritage Listed site is recognised as the birthplace of the Australian wool, dairy, wine, and horticulture industries, providing a remarkable window into Australia’s Colonial agricultural past.

On the traditional land of Dharawal and Gundungurra peoples, Wollondilly, or the Dilly as it is affectionately known, has always been a place of great beauty and artistic endeavour. With the Wollondilly Performing Arts Centre now calling Picton home, locals are embracing artistry, creativity and an inclusive community for all.
