Uncover Campbelltown 

Welcome to Campbelltown – a city charming its way into the hearts of its visitors. 

Located only 50km southwest of Sydney’s centre and less than one hour by road or rail, Campbelltown is a cosmopolitan city, which combines a blend of heritage, culture and the tranquillity of natural surrounds.

Once you’re here, the Campbelltown Visitor Information Centre ‘Quondong’ is a great place to start. With information at your fingertips, as well as maps, souvenirs and local advice, you will be ready to discover Campbelltown and Macarthur.

With a rich history of agriculture and farming, Campbelltown and the Macarthur region were pivotal to the start of Australian agriculture. The man known as Australia’s first farmer, James Ruse, produced wheat in the area, while John Macarthur built his merino wool empire in nearby Camden. Campbelltown is also home to an impressive portfolio of heritage-listed buildings. From slab huts to the manors and mansions of the very well to do, Campbelltown’s heritage is evident at almost every turn, and adds to the city’s charm.

Activities abound, including a street parade, street fair, fireworks and a fairground. Music, literature and arts competitions are part of the fun during November when the legend of Fisher’s Ghost comes alive.

Campbelltown also boasts a fabulous modern Arts Centre. A state of the art, $10 million facility, the Arts Centre is an interactive venue for cultural programs in visual art, music, dance, theatre, film, writing and new media.
