BUNDANOON.

Free water coolers are located throughout the town, very handy considering its current popularity as a centre for cycling and bushwalking.

Bundanoon Village is about 200m from the Pill Factory. There is a Bottle shop, News agency, Chemist, Hairdressers, Doctors Surgery, Butcher, Bakery, Convenience store Antique and Collectables, Gift Shops and Galleries. There are also Italian,Chinese,Pub and Continental Restaurants and Coffee shops. There are three great local cool climate vineyards within cycling distance on back roads. St Maur, Sally's Corner and Banjo's run. Go a little further down the road to Sutton Forest Wines and you can get an incredible al fresco antipasto lunch as well! Just down the road there is also a Buddhist temple which is well worth spending some time at.
