Many of the heritage buildings have been converted into galleries and colourful shops which you can explore, and then stroll the beautiful banks of the Coal River. Head next to the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, a breeding site for Tasmanian devils. Enjoy an up-close encounter, and get the chance to hand feed other local animals roaming freely in the sanctuary.
