If a road trip along a meandering road through memorable towns and villages sounds like your kind of thing, then the Treasure Trail is a must.

Traversing Queanbeyan, Bungendore and Braidwood along the Kings Highway, the Treasure Trail runs the popular route between Canberra and the pristine NSW South Coast.

Dotted with many exquisite gems just waiting to be uncovered, immerse yourself in the local arts scene along the trail.

Brimming with talented, creative minds, you might just find your treasure among the handcrafted jewellery, glass, ceramics, woodworking and more.

Learn a few tricks of the trade from the region’s strong artistic community, inspired by the region’s rolling hills, evocative architecture and beautiful landscapes.

Dig a little deeper into the region

The townships of Braidwood, Bungendore and Queanbeyan are all home to numerous studios and galleries showcasing the talent and creativity of local artists.

Tour quirky specialty shops selling everything from antiques and collectables to fashion and furniture, or visit the local produce markets to sample the seasonal produce.

From food and wine to homeware and jewellery, passionate locals craft artisan products with care and attention to detail.

Explore the wineries, restaurants, bars and cafes for a truly unique foodie experience set amongst the breathtaking countryside.

Hit the road to explore the region’s vast range of walks, drives and rides.

Go back in time with Braidwood’s Heritage Walk of colonial buildings; the town brimming with antiques, specialty shops and charming cafes.

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city in the warm and welcoming country town of Bungendore.

Unwind with a visit to the local boutique wineries offering quality cool climate wines and sweeping views across the vineyards.

Explore Queanbeyan’s beautiful sun-dappled riverside walk or tour the city’s historic pubs; the region’s go-to watering holes during Canberra’s early 1900s prohibition era.  

See the natural beauty

Load the car up with a picnic and camping gear to enjoy the region’s many national parks and nature reserves.

Hike to fascinating natural landmarks, cycle along picturesque forest trails, or simply settle back, breathe in some fresh country air and keep an eye out for native birds and wildlife.

Cool off with a refreshing swim or throw in a line to catch beautiful freshwater fish before camping under the starry sky.

Prefer to hit the hay in the comfort of fresh sheets rather than campgrounds surrounded by beautiful bushland? Turn in for the night at one of the trail’s heritage-inspired boutique hotels or grand colonial homesteads. Whichever you choose, you’ll wake up ready for another day of exploration.

Create moments that you know you’ll treasure forever. There’s so much to discover if you just dig a little deeper.
