Kangaroo Valley & Hampden Bridge

Kangaroo Valley

A pastoral valley town ringed by mountains, with an 1898 castle-style suspension bridge, canoeing on the river and wild wombats.

Kangaroo Valley lies on the northern side of Cambewarra Mountain, a farming valley ringed by sandstone cliffs. The main street has cafés, fudge shops and galleries. North of town, Hampden Bridge is one of the oldest surviving suspension bridges in Australia, with towers styled like sandstone castles. You can paddle a canoe on the Kangaroo River, and in the evening, wild wombats can be seen on the reserve's grassland. It is about 50 minutes' drive from Huskisson and is often combined with Cambewarra Mountain and Fitzroy Falls as a day trip.
