Leura

Known as the 'garden village', this picturesque town has many fine gardens and grand old homes. Don't miss the celebrated National Trust-listed Everglades Gardens, a 1930s treasure featuring European-style gardens. The beautiful natural attractions around Leura are best seen from lookouts at the end of any number of cliff top walking trails. And the village delights shoppers with all manner of boutiques and gourmet food at the many cafés and restaurants.
