When it comes to nature, history and creativity, Geraldine's got it down to a fine art.

You'll have a hard time leaving this riverside town without nabbing something cool from the local artisan boutiques, galleries and studios. History buffs can't miss a visit to the town's historic museums and foodies will love the cafés that serve up local produce. Get amongst nature with a peaceful stroll in the ancient forests on the edge of town or book an action-packed four-wheel drive, kayaking or rafting tour.
