Picton 

Picton is about 80 kilometres south west of Sydney. At about the geographical centre of the Wollondilly region, it is also the main town and administrative centre of the region.

Picton has that special charm which attracts people in a fast age. It still retains that peace and tranquility of a country town, yet is close enough to the city that its residents can commute. It allows city people escape to a better lifestyle - even if only for a short visit.

The surrounding countryside, with its farms and villages, spectacular natural attractions and vast wilderness areas, are a haven and a delight to explore. Picton is the ideal getaway for a day trip, a weekend, or longer sojourn away from the city. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and interesting arts and craft shops to browse through.For an overnight stay there are excellent B&Bs, and hotels and motels. A first class golf course nearby; club, hotels, and woolshed for dining, singing, and dancing.

Picton is rich in colonial and late Victorian architecture. Information for self-guided tours of the town are available from the Visitors Centre, and a tour service offers guided walks through the town at night.

If you are interested in history, there are some important buildings and engineering structures to be discovered.
