THINGS TO SEE & DO
Roses Garden
Next to the Fire Station you’ll find Rose’s Garden. The creek flats turned garden paradise are the love and labour of local couple, Jeanette and Spencer Rose. While weeding might give Jeanette ‘the willies’, the couple’s efforts in creating such a masterpiece over the past 20 years were well worth it. Making the gardens the first stop in the town, people come year after year to check on how things have changed. The stroll takes you alongside Castle Creek up to Junction Park.
Dawson Folk Museum
Housed in an old power house, the Dawson Folk Museum in Second Avenue is a treat for history devotees. If travelling between April and September you will likely find the Museum open between 10.00 am – 1.00 pm, Tuesday to Thursday. Outside of this, the Museum is open by appointment. Phone Loraine on 0429 931 264.​
