South of town via Nile Rd is stately, two-storey Clarendon. Built in 1838 in neoclassical style, it looks like it’s stepped straight out of Gone with the Wind; it was long the grandest house in the colony. Take a self-guided tour of the home, which is graced with antiques, and the seven park-like hectares of gardens on the South Esk River. Also here is the Australian Fly Fishing Museum .
