22.01.2022 Take a step back in time at the Barellan Museum. The local amateur historians are keeping the stories of this charming town alive through memorable displays and artefacts. Barellan is also home to a classic old pub, The Commercial Hotel Barellan, and was where one of Australia’s most famous tennis players grew up (we're talking about Evonne Goolagong Cawley, of course!). Drop in to discover more about this historic place near Narrandera Tourism, visit the big tennis racquet and learn how wheat farmers made a living on the land.
20.01.2022 Hit the pavement and explore Visit Lockhart Shire’s Sculpture and Heritage Trail. This easy grade walk takes you on an artistic journey through Lockhart’s streets to discover some incredible sculptures. Sitting proudly at one of the entrances to the town is the captivating Australian Rain Dragon by Andrew Whitehead that won the 2009 National Farm Art Awards and is made from recycled farm materials. It is just one of the many amazing permanent sculptures around the town, so get your camera ready and enjoy the remarkable artistic talent on display.
18.01.2022 The Narrandera Wetlands is the perfect place for twitchers (aka birdwatchers) to seek out native birdlife Take a wander through any time of day and you'll find bird hides painted in local Wiradjuri themes where you can quietly wait to see the birds in their natural habitat If you're a nature lover, there’s plenty more to see nearby. Don't miss koala spotting in the Narrandera Flora and Fauna Reserve or a walk on the Bundidgerry Walking Track which follows Lake Talbot ...and the Murrumbidgee River. Head to Narrandera Tourism's visitor information centre for maps and more local knowledge on all the best spots!
17.01.2022 If you’re taking to the Murrumbidgee Trails, you’re going to want somewhere to rest your weary head at the end of a long day of exploring. Lucky you can take your pick of accommodation in our region. You’ll find comfortable motels like the Newell Motor Inn Narrandera or the 4-star The Leeton Heritage Motor Inn (pictured), or if it’s more space you need to unpack and unwind, a self-contained apartment might be more your style so try Bond Apartment in Lockhart or Narrandera Fol...ey's Folly. Set amongst the natural beauty of the landscape, you can find spacious cabins at the Darlington Point Accommodation Village or head to our region’s newest attraction at Whitton Malt House where you can enjoy sunset over the water from your own private villa. Rest assured you’ll find something to suit your style and budget among our accommodation options. We’d love to show you our country hospitality.

17.01.2022 Stay a while and get lost in the stars while exploring the #MurrumbidgeeTrails Instagrammer @jjaydenyoung captured this shot at Grong Grong recently, around 20 kilometres east of Narrandera Tourism. Bike is a great way to explore the town while you're here. No bike? No worries, Grong Grong Borrow Bikes has free bike hire at the General Store. If you’re travelling with kids, the Grong Grong Earth Park is a fantastic place to get your hands dirty at the mud pie station or exp...lore the natural playscapes and cubby. Just down the road, head to Berembed Weir on the Murrumbidgee River for a spot of shore-based fishing as the sun creeps towards the horizon and camp out under the stars.

12.01.2022 We're lookin' at the long weekend with adoration too Instagrammer @geofflongford spotted this beauty in Narrandera Tourism recently, alongside Lake Talbot which is actually named for his grandfather, William Talbot (how's that for a local connection?). You too can spot koalas along the Murrumbidgee Trails, and your best bet is at the Narrandera Flora and Fauna Reserve. Koalas were reintroduced to this area alongside the Murrumbidgee River back in the 1970s and they sure are flourishing. Wherever you head out exploring this weekend, be sure to share your shots with us using #MurrumbidgeeTrails. We love seeing what you get up to while exploring our region!
09.01.2022 Looking for some peace and quiet? You just might be lucky enough to have the whole river to yourself at Rocky Waterholes near Narrandera Tourism.
