School holidays

If you have some time to relax these school holidays, you are invited to explore our Shire, shop local and experience that warm hospitality and natural beauty that Nillumbik has on offer.

Have a picnic, wander our markets, walk our many trails, visit our galleries, getting up close to animal life and of course explore our unique retail offerings - there are lots of interesting ways to fill in the school holidays.
