Bega

Say cheese! The Bega Valley is a famous cheddar-producing region and with its focus on food and wine, history and culture, Bega is the perfect Aussie country town to hang out in.

In the local Aboriginal language, Bega means “beautiful” or “big camping ground” which, either way, sounds like a perfect getaway destination. First settled by cattle farmers, this fertile valley community has always loved its cows. This is the home of Bega cheese, proudly produced by one of Australia’s oldest cheese companies. Taste all its varieties in the Heritage Centre after exploring the town’s history.
