Several old timber towns, dairies filled with happy cows, a cheese factory, and small cottages with Devonshire teas give the area an old worldly appeal. Fishing, bushwalking, swimming, BBQs and picnics, camping, visiting the local wineries, dining in nice surroundings and shopping are only some of the great things you can do in the Harvey and Australind area.
We invite you to explore Harvey and indulge in some of the local produce, to delight all tastes!
