Perched on the crest of the Great Dividing Range, the area offers spectacular mountain views, wildlife and national parks.
The hamlets along the highway north to Crows Nest offer a wealth of attractions: nurseries, cafes, antique shops, galleries and museums. At Highfields be sure to stop at the stunning Danish Flower Art store and the Highfields Pioneer Village where traditional trades such as blacksmithing are still alive and well.
Further along the highway at Cabarlah you will find the Black Forest Hill Cuckoo Clock Shop and Café Stuble, where you can marvel at a large collection of traditional and quirky cuckoo clocks.
There is a variety of accommodation in and around Crows Nest - from motels to bed and breakfasts. The Crows Nest Motel provides conveniently located accommodation, or if you are after a tranquil hideaway try Ravensbourne Country Cottages, Oakleigh Country Cottage, Eagles Rest, Cloudlake Mountain Retreat and Ballymoss Homestay.
Strange but true - in October each year, Crows Nest Day includes the World Worm Races among its highlights!
