Queanbeyan's location adjacent to the national capital, the snowfields, the scenic South Coast and historic towns make it an ideal base from which to explore. The major art and craft towns of Bungendore and Braidwood, both on Kings Hwy, have restored buildings, antique shops and lots of historic charm. Bywong Town Gold Mining Village, north of Queanbeyan, is a re-creation of the pioneering history of the 1850s. To the south-east at Captains Flat is Captains Flat Museum.
