The Pine Creek water gardens, located in centre of town, were created after the old railway tracks were uplifted, leaving a series of unsightly trenches. These were then turned into a series of attractive ponds and landscaped gardens attracting not only tired tourists but an array of rare birds; including the elusive hooded parrot. The area is now a pleasant shady place for locals and tourists to rest, have a picnic or to enjoy a scenic walk. It is also used as a starting stop for birdwatching groups touring the area.
