Tourist info very helpful once licated. A pleasant wander around the maritime museum area and the mangrove boardwalk.. . Huskisson seems to shut up shop early and places to eat hard to find other than a good meal at Stone Grill

4/5 - Good

Beautiful little town with surprisingly busy roads. The shops were interesting and the beaches were stunning.
