Old mining streets meet newer estates, where the houses give way to bushland, walking and mountain bike trails.

Reached by ferry across the harbour, this stretch trades the CBD for open dunes and a beach that runs for kilometres, with a big park at the wharf and a growing run of cafes and pubs nearby.

A self-contained pocket of the region – a village shopping strip within a short walk for most, and a park with a playground that stays busy most afternoons.

New cafes are filling in alongside the old corner pubs, giving the main street fresh energy without losing its history.

A crossroads part of the region, with bushland trails almost at the back fence for walkers and mountain bikers, and a beach not far past that for a swim to finish.

A precinct built around the creek – rowers out at first light, walkers and cyclists getting a start on exercise or the commute to work.
