Not all visitors to the country seek rest and relaxation. Some are keen to test their skills and try a new activity.

If you fit this category … you'll find a wide range of energetic pursuits awaiting you.

Bushwalking, birdwatching, wildlife viewing, cycling, tennis, swimming, fishing and boating are all available on the property ... whilst National Park enthusiasts will find the Cathedral Range State Park just across the road ... and mountain bikes on their verandahs to make exploring it more enjoyable.

Those after a truly unique experience may venture out of the ordinary by accompanying some of Kingbilli's Llamas on a leisurely trek through the shaded trails of our private wildlife sanctuary.
These charismatic
creatures are not merely four-legged

In their saddlebags they carry hampers containing a delicious al fresco luncheon … or that special hilltop supper for two.

More challenging activities such as abseiling, rock-climbing and white-water rafting are provided under the ever-watchful eye of Geoff

Proctor, of the Australian Adventure Experience. Further afield, at Mansfield, hot-air ballooning - complete with champagne breakfast - can be found.

Those wishing to view the world from the above by more conventional means may prefer a scenic flight with Eildon Airlines.

Horse riding - always a favourite - is available nearby also, at Rubicon Valley Horseriding Centre, just 15 minutes drive away.

The operators are patient, experienced, and have horses to suit all levels of riding ability.

Dedicated fishermen will be delighted to discover the renowned Goulburn Valley Fly Fishing Centre is only minutes away at Thornton.

Guides, David Pickering, Geoff Hall and Antony Boliancu are always happy to assist, with a range of great packages for you to enjoy.

They welcome both experienced and beginner fly-fishers, but bookings are essential as this is a particularly popular sport.

Skiers are catered for also, with first-rate cross-country skiing and tobogganing available at Lake Mountain and downhill skiing and snowboarding at Mt. Buller.

If less exhausting exercise is more your style, the gently undulating fairways of the Marysville golf course will surely appeal … as will a quiet wander through the Mystic Mountain rainforests … or perhaps a picnic beside Steavensons Falls.

To make this even easier, the 'Marysville Forest Walks Trail Guide" - available from the Visitor Information Centre - lists seven walks for you to consider, with walking times

Snobs Creek Hatchery and Eildon are also great spots to visit.

Hiring a picnic barge to explore the many secluded inlets around the shores of Lake Eildon is a particularly pleasant way to while away the afternoon. And for those preferring a faster pace, ski-boats are available for hire also.

Alternatively, should the charms of a larger vessel beckon, then perhaps

experiencing the splendour and majesty of Lake Eildon - six times the size of Sydney Harbour - aboard the MV Eildon Explorer may be more enticing. Once again, bookings for this are essential.

Wine buffs will find wineries - some with excellent restaurants overlooking their vineyards - within easy driving distance, in just about any direction.

We're often asked if children are welcome at Kingbilli ... and yes, of course they are. Families will find a range of fun things for their youngsters to do (see the families page for more details), including our own eco-education program, Pouch Professors, designed to give 7-14 year olds an insight into the lives of those unique Australian animals, the Marsupials.
