Wee Jasper This picturesque village, where Banjo Paterson owned a holiday home, is set in a valley at the foot of the Brindabella Ranges. The Goodradigbee River is excellent for trout fishing. Carey's Caves are full of limestone formations and were the site of the 1957 discovery of the spine of a large extinct wombat. 50 km SW.

Canberra wine region Canberra has around 35 cellar doors, a few in the boundary of the ACT itself, but the majority a little further north around Murrumbateman and Lake George. The first vines in this hilly terrain were planted in 1971. Many of the original winemakers had no experience in winemaking and came from government or science jobs in the ACT. Their wine was slow to take off, but there are no such limitations now. The region produces a great range of styles, with many varieties considered excellent. Clonakilla makes good shiraz and riesling, but its shiraz viognier is the standout – it is difficult to get hold of, but worth trying at the small cellar door. Helm reaches similar heights with riesling and Lark Hill with pinot noir.Follow the signs on Barton Hwy; brochure from visitor centre.
