MILTON, NSW

Around three hours’ drive from Sydney WHERE? in the Shoalhaven region. Established in 1860, the entire town, WHAT? filled with picture-postcard historic buildings, has been classified by the National Trust of Australia as a historic village. With its pretty main street and the frisson WHY? of creativity running through it, Milton (known as Milly; neighbouring Mollymook is Molly) is the kind of place that once you discover, you keep coming back time and time again. Check out the boutiques and cafes on the main street, pop into the monthly arts and craft market, stop by Merry Maidens Veggies for bio-dynamic produce, and then head to the nearby hinterland town of Woodstock for lunch at Milk Haus, housed in an old cheese factory.
