Experiences
Your drive to Wee Jasper from the highway is an experience in itself as it takes you through a changing landscape full of history, that is also one of the most diverse geological areas in Australia, through fantastic belts of limestone millions of years old.
As the roads winds towards Wee Jasper, panoramic views of the Murrumbidgee and Goodradigbee valleys and Burrinjuck Dam unfold. You'll also be passing some of Australia's finest sheep and cattle properties.
Whether travelling on your own, with your family and friends or with a large group you will be captivated by the striking geological formations, great natural beauty of the surrounding hills, the Goodradigbee flowing the length of the valley, a myriad of wildlife and flora and overall rural tranquillity.
