Great lunch spot
Who doesn't love cider - great varieties to choose from (I love the Raspberry Pear but it is a strong one so drivers be ware) There is an interesting history museum onsite. Frank's often have live music afternoons, comedy nights and art exhibitions nearby.

Sightseeing
A lovely scenic drive as an alternative route to Cygnet. Turn right onto C639 at Cradoc on the B68. There are some unsealed sections of the road but some lovely bays to stop and take some photos - worth the trip.

Beautiful, quirky country town! Art galleries, cafes, giftshops, a great market on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month and lovely walks around the Port Cygnet Bay - can easily spend the best part of a day here.

Take a drive to Cockle Creek ( the southernmost point your can drive to in Australia) and then walk across to the stunning, windswept South Cape Bay (approximately 4 hours return - moderate rating).
A short 510 minute return walk to the Bronze Whale Sculpture is a great one with small children or anyone really.
You must hold a National Parks Pass one you cross the bridge at Cockle Creek. Great Beaches for a swim too!
