Coleraine
FEELS LIKE a living arboretum
Set along the Wannon River, Coleraine carries its history with quiet pride. The Peter Francis Points Arboretum spreads across town with more than 500 eucalyptus species, creating a living collection that rewards slow wandering and seasonal colour. Heritage streets reflect the town’s pastoral roots and connections to poet Adam Lindsay Gordon, while riverside paths invite gentle exploration.
Coleraine’s pace is easy and welcoming. Glenelg Fine Chocolates draws visitors for handmade treats, and small galleries and murals add colour to the streetscape. The surrounding farmland and river flats create open horizons for cyclists, walkers and birdwatchers.
This is a town for unhurried moments. Wander the arboretum, follow the river, settle in for a long lunch and let the landscape set the tempo.
