Ganmain
Just 40 minutes from Junee is the township of Ganmain. Known as one of the richest agricultural districts in the Riverina, it is home to a range of unique shopping and attractions.
No attraction is more famous than the Ganmain Bakery, a must-do stop for any visitor.
The bakery’s pies (the perfect staple lunch for a winter day drive) is a firm favourite throughout the Riverina, not to mention their selection of savoury scrolls, bee stings, neenish tarts or individual cheesecakes dolloped with caramel, chocolate or strawberries.
After eating, take the time to stroll through the shops, or pop by the Ganmain Historical Museum to brush up on some local history.
Coolamon
There is no end of things to do in Coolamon. It is a thriving hub of culture and tourism with museums, natural attractions, heritage streetscapes, shopping, art, and cafes and eateries.
Drop by Coolamon Pharmacy for any pharmaceutical needs, as well as a fine selection of make up, jewelry and gifts. This month if you purchase an Nurofen products, kids can enter a colouring in competition to win a children’s book pack.
