Valley wanderer: a day trip exploring the scenic countryside around Gloucester.
It's easy to spend a day exploring the scenic town of Gloucester and its nearby attractions: the Buccans Buccans and Copeland Tops SCA.

- Drive back into Gloucester to the Bucketts Scenic Walk to view the valley from a more intimate perspective.
- Browse the specialty shops Forest Of Play, Drifta Camping & 4WD
- Enjoy lunch at The Common café or get some picnic supplies from Hebbys Bakery or Batter & Dough Patisserie before heading to the ex-gold rush village of Copeland.
- Here you’ll find several forest walks deep in Copeland Tops State Conservation Area:
- Pre-book a guided tour: Mountain Maid Gold Mine, Cultural Connections Tour, or return in the evening for a Twilight Tour.
- Or choose one of the walking tracks: Hidden Treasure Track or Basin Loop Track.
- Afterwards settle into the beer garden at Gloucester’s Roundabout Inn for a refreshing beverage.
- Stay for a tasty meal from the Roundabout Inn's bistro The Kitchen or stroll up the street for an extensive menu of deliciousness at Land & Sea Cafe .
