About Crookwell
This picturesque historic country town is situated among farmland on the Southern Tablelands, 240 km south-west of Sydney and en route to Canberra. Things to do around Crookwell include a visit to the first fully grid-connected wind farm in Australia or to the area's open gardens, fishing for trout in clean streams or on the beautiful Wollondilly River.
You can even stock up on great socks from Lindner Socks, one of the last sock factories in Australia. Drop in to the Crookwell Visitor Information Centre for information about nurseries and orchards where you can pick your own fruit (in season).
