There is a gorge in the national park nearby, for just a short 1-2k walk you can get some great views down into the river, and ever hike a little down to swim. Worth stopping for an afternoon to enjoy. I don't remember having to pay to get in anywhere, so it's a low-budget wonder :)

Wear suncreen HIGHEST possible SPF, and stay hydrated. The best time to visit is in the Summer, less humid. Go to the Nitmiluk Gorge (beautiful, breath taking views, kayaking, cliff diving, canoeing)  and stop by the local restaurant Kimbidgees which is on the way to the gorge
