There's nothing like a bird's-eye view of an area to get yourself oriented in a new town. Take the Harties cableway up to the top of their viewing deck, enjoy the scenic walking route and have a coffee at the cafe. If you're feeling extra adventurous, you can look into paragliding from the top!

The French Toast Cafe was purposely built as part of the film set for French Toast - the movie. It has since been converted into a sweet little coffee spot for everyone to enjoy. There are heaps of fun elements that were left on site from the original set. From a mini Eiffel Tower, to a chain lock bridge where couples "seal their love forever". It's quirky and cute and worth a stop for a photo op.
