Overview
Head to the High Country and spend a few days relaxing and recharging in the laidback riverside town of Jamieson. Nestled at the southern foothills of the Great Dividing Range, this idyllic township is home to pretty parks, leafy tree-lined streets and historic buildings.
Pretty parks and picnic spots
Get outdoors and make the most of Jamieson’s picturesque scenery on a self-guided walk or relaxing picnic. Stock up on local treats and find a shady picnic spot by the river or head to the Jamieson Arboretum for a leisurely stroll through the leafy gardens. The Arboretum is also a great spot for soaking up incredible views of the town and surrounding mountains.
Adventures on the river
