- Boutique Shopping: Spoil yourself at one of Uralla’s unique specialty stores – gifts, home décor, fashion, local art, antiques, antiquarian books and more – there’s something for everyone.
- Cafés & Country Pubs: Sit and enjoy a meal at one of Uralla’s fine cafés and delightful old pubs. Take advantage of our mild summers to sit outside and watch the world pass by, or in winter, sidle up to a cosy fire with a glass of local beer, wine or spirits.
- Captain Thunderbolt: Visit the final resting place of Australia’s gentleman bushranger, Captain Thunderbolt, or visit Thunderbolt’s Rock, a time-worn cluster of granite boulders that afforded the perfect vantage point for monitoring the approach of unwary mail coaches.
- McCrossin’s Mill Museum: Visit McCrossin’s Mill, a lovingly restored three-storey flour mill that now houses a multi-award-winning museum and gallery. Many locals once believed the “Old Mill” to be haunted; now it is hauntingly beautiful.
- Heritage Walk: For those with an eye for artistic and architectural style and a reverence for history, a self-guided heritage walk leads to unexpected treasures. Collect a free guide from the Visitor Information Centre.
- Farm Tours and Nature Reserves: Meet the goats and sample the goat cheeses, soaps and skin care at Sunhill Goat Dairy, or go bird watching at Barleyfield’s Lagoon, Racecourse Lagoon, Dangar’s Lagoon or Mount Yarrowyck Nature Reserve.

- Uralla Soundtrail: The Uralla Soundtrail was Australia’s first and brings alive a heady mix of sounds and stories that span many generations, many people and many lives. Download the app onto your smartphone or iPad, see yourself on a GPS map, and walk freely in and out of sound fields; a rich weave of memories, voices, myths and archival footage. There are 15 Soundtrails to enjoy, adding another level to your visit.

Pick up a map at the Visitor Information Centre. You’ll also be delighted by lovely public art along the Creek Walk and throughout the main street.
