If you came to Hamilton you could do lots of things:

Sculptural park
Gallery
Woodlands Historic Home and gardens
Great pubs and restaurants
Field-days - which is a largescale country industrial fair very popular here.
Go see the Mooloo's play (if you like watching men chasing a ball around lol)
Casino
Riverbank walk (though can be a little dangerous i hear)
Picnic at Hamilton Lake

Thank you Mr Magic... Yes i have been to Adelaide before it is a beautiful city. Are you referring to the fringe festival? Adlelaide is lovely with its great wineries and towns and lovely city with its theatre, river and nightclubs.

I might have to try somewhere new that i havent before maybe.? lips lips

I have nothing to offer here where I live. laugh

A smallish country town.. few pubs, clubs and coffee shops.

River walking trails.

There are 2 house boats that offer cruises, but if the water level of the river is anything to go by, it's any wonder the boats don't move.

We have a Ute on a pole in the centre of town and are the "Ute capital of the world".. (now u all know where I actually live lol)

Nothing of significant touristy things here as we are now a dying town sigh

We did have the second largest rice mill on the world (largest in the southern hemisphere) but that shut down before christmas due to drought. blues

So, that is it.

Any wonder I have the desire to move wink

I would take the person to Big Brother lookout. The view is just awesome. Then I would take them to Lake Cathie, lunch at North Haven. A walk along the boardwalk to check out the written rocks.
Day 2.
A drive up to Scotts Head & then lunch at South West rocks. Awesome beaches. Then to the beach that is 2 minutes from my place for cheese & crackers & a bbq & a nice glass of wine with of course great company grin

There are heaps of different things written on the rocks, some date back 40 to 50 yrs some are recent, its just interesting to read what local & tourists write.

After that we walk to the pub & have a few alcoholic beverages & look out over the water & watch the boats, dolphins & seaplanes & walkers go by. Its quite relaxing..wine beer cheers

National park, yes i have already been there and stayed in a friends holiday chalet there.
There is not much to do, a BP Service Station and a few motels? Sort of place you need to have great company to while the time away cosied up by a roaring fire and a nice mulled wine to warm up with. Not sure i would want to live there all year round? I suppose it would be great if you were into skiing in winter and tramping in summer but not much else to do there ?

There's not much to do here in Lamont, especially during the winter. Stay indoors and try to keep warm, preferably with someone else.wink
During the summer we have a rodeo but I haven't been to it in two years. The last time I went a bull tried climbing the fence to come after me. Must have thought I was cute or something.laugh
Not much here for a young person. The town is mainly retired farmers and they don't do much other than talk about the weather and complain how the government is ruining their lives.roll eyes

Time for me to move.wave
