Sightseeing
The Victorian Precinct is always a popular attraction, with displays, stores and of course, the Steam-Punk museum located at the north end of the precinct. At the south-end every Sunday you can visit the local Farmers market, or to the east you can meander down the docks where some like to get in a spot of fishing.
