The main street is lined with heritage-listed stone cottages and a century-old general store that still sells old-fashioned lollies. The real draw, though, is the surrounding wilderness – waterfall hikes through ancient rainforest, crystal-clear swimming holes, and wildflower meadows that explode into colour each spring. Locals are famously friendly, often stopping to chat on the porch of the Floraville Hotel, a warm country pub that serves hearty meat pies and local craft ale. At night, the sky is so dark you can see the Milky Way, making it a haven for stargazers. For a true escape from the digital world, you can hike the Floraville Ring Trail, a half-day loop that passes abandoned gold mines and lookouts over the valley. It’s a place where you pack for adventure but leave with peace of mind.",[10,13,15],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","000",{"key":14,"value":12},"Ambulance",{"key":16,"value":12},"Fire",[18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45,48],{"key":19,"value":20},"Do I need a visa?","Citizens of most EU countries, the UK, the US, and Canada can visit for up to 3 months visa-free.
