The Cootamundra Rotary Club have prepared some tourist drives as a community service.

coota drives 

Drives out from Cootamundra will take you through rich farmland where many farming activities which vary with the season can be viewed from the road as well as some old homesteads.  There are many stops for the photographer or artist, .  There are Nature reserves and Parks, Great places to bushwalk and  bird watching .   The countryside will change with the seasons and with morning or evening light.  There are several villages, each with their own character and special attractions.
