There are tours of Fairy Cave and Royal Cave at the Buchan Caves Reserve, and an interesting visitors' interpretation centre. The reserve also features picnic spots, walking tracks, a camping ground, plus a variety of flora and fauna.
The Buchan Gallery and Buchan Heritage Group have developed a wonderful tour around the township, allowing you to learn about the history of the buildings, river and people.
