25.01.2022 Thanks Sunrise for helping us to spread the message - get pro active, keep it positive and take your next break in the bush....but preferably on The Long Paddock. https://au.news.yahoo.com/why-next-holiday-small-town-22360

24.01.2022 A Black Swamp & A Headless Horseman Its believed the name Black Swamp was derived from the blackish appearance of the water caused by peat formed from rot...ting vegetable matter. But then again, early maps show it named as Blacks Swamp because of a tribe of aborigines who usually camped there. However its name came to be, its certainly secondary to the legend that lives on a century later at this Swamp. Drovers around Black Swamp in the middle of last century told of a horseman who appeared suddenly at a campsite, mounted on a trotting cob, a cloak about his shoulders but with no head, spooking the animals and causing stampedes. The legend arose when a drover named Doyle died at the Black Swamp in the early 1850s. Charlie Lee, who drove the Deniliquin-Hay coach for years, claimed that he saw the Headless Horseman in action. The story goes that what Charlie saw was the trotting cob taking its headless rider home to die. Be that it may, it adds a fitting postscript to what is probably the finest legend in outback Australia. Writers of the time did not state the manner of Doyles death, but the legend persevered in the form of a headless rider mounted on a trotting cob: When the lands were wide and the fences few, uneasy was the stockman when the sun was down and his thousand charges scattered for miles around his campfire... he would remember the story they were telling around Bourke... that a headless Horseman was again haunting the plains at the Black Swamp near the border... he would appear suddenly, mounted on a Cobb, a cloak wrapped around him - but without a head! He passed through the camp like a phantom causing the cattle to rush and the dogs to shrink away... terror would follow. Overlanders dreaded camping at the swamp, believing the sight of the apparition spelt their doom. The legend was perpetuated by a Moulamein butcher who, dressed as the headless ghost, would spook drovers mobs and siphon off cattle to trade through his shop. He was wise to confine his duffing to small numbers to avoid attention and was assisted by publican in-laws placed strategically throughout the area. He continued his game of dress-up & duffing until fencing-in of the runs made illicit movement of stock too difficult. Today we couldnt say for sure if the drovers who traverse this section of the route wake up weary after a restless night worrying the Horseman would appear. Some might put stock in the legend, whilst others arent believers. What we can say though is that the interpretation panels and sculptures that commemorate the legend of the "Headless Horseman", make for awesome photo opportunities Hot tip: Sunset is particularly epic!

24.01.2022 Time for a road trip

24.01.2022 Michael Epps a regular visitor to Wanganella Creek Camp Park . Always leaves with a good catch !!!

24.01.2022 Perfect camping weather

21.01.2022 BEAUTIFUL WANGANELLA FISHING THE WORLDS LONGEST CREEK At 320 kilometres (although some estimate the range up to 596 kilometres!), Billabong Creek... is believed to be the LONGEST CREEK in the WORLD! Not only is this creek the lifeline to an amazingly diverse range of birdlife, but its also a hotspot for the elusive Murray Cod For those who like to fish away from the crowd, the Billabong Creek at Wanganella is the perfect spot for a weekend away. With this weekend marking the official opening of the cod season, if your looking for a quiet spot to cast a line, this is it! The best part? There are plenty of camp spots to choose from, alternatively you can also stay at the Wanganella Creek Camp. It has great facilities and located on the waters edge, it has access to some of the best fishing along the route! Plus, located literally on the banks of the creek is the popular Wanganella Store. Locals brag this is the only place in the region where you can enjoy a refreshment or meal ON THE RIVER! Simon & Kerry are your hosts here and their store, come post office, come local dining venue is a hit with visitors and locals alike. Whether your looking for a quick lunch on the run or have time to dine al fresco overlooking the river, its the place to stop!

21.01.2022 WHAT’S THERE TO DO IN WANGANELLA? Our little town is probably most known for the longest creek in the world (Billabong Creek), it’s rare and endangered wild...life and the Hay Plains, thought to be the flattest plains on Earth! But what’s there to do? Well, besides soaking up the serenity, getting away from the rat race and enjoying a bit of down time... here’s 3 THINGS WE LOVE: 1 With multiple access points for fishing off the bank, launching a boat or a kayak - you can easily get your fishing AND nature fix here Oh, and it’s not as busy as the Edward River so you’ll feel like you’ve got this place all to yourself! 2 Opposite the Wanganella Licensed Store and our cottage, you’ll find beautifully maintained lawns, a community hall and children’s play equipment. Perfect for a family picnic and hours of fun for the little ones. Ps. They’ve just installed brand new BBQS in the park too! 3 Myth or not, we love the tale of the Headless Horseman! Just down the road, on the way towards Hay you’ll come to the Black Swamp and the sculpture depicting "The Headless Horseman". It’s part of a series of artworks that tell of the legends and the region’s tales along the Cobb & Co Highwa, also known as The Long Paddock. Some might put stock in the legend, whilst others aren’t believers. What we can say though is that the interpretation panels and sculptures that commemorate the legend of the "Headless Horseman", make for awesome photo opportunities Hot tip: Sunset is particularly epic! ...... Is that it? Nope! Definitely not! We’ll be sure to share a few more travel tips soon!

21.01.2022 STEP BACK IN HISTORY... WANDERER IS WHERE IT BEGAN! Probably not something to brag about (and we certainly arent!) but if your sitting back enjoying... a refreshing ale at one of our many hotels tonight, you are certainly participating in a long tradition. When the settlement of New South Wales was only 12 years old - and the population 5800 - the annual consumption of grog was just under five gallons of spirits and three gallons of wine for every man, woman and child in the colony! Locally though, Boyd was in occupation at Deniliquin for three years before he got around to building the first watering hole aptly named the Wanderer Inn, in 1847. Legend has it that the Wanderer was famously visited by Captain Melville and his gang in 1851, who stayed for several hours before leaving after a failed attempt to pick the pockets of a boarder they waited on to fall asleep. Once the place to meet up and talk shop, on the evening of 25 July 1867 the hotel was destroyed by fire. The Pastoral Times reported, ... The house, as an Inn, had outlived itself, other Inns having sprung up and usurped all the custom. Built on top of a lofty sand hill, and having lost all its attractions in consequence of the diversions of the stock traffic to other routes, it stood as a monument to the past. At a cost to build of 250 pounds and insured with two companies to the tune of 1150 pounds, it was later found to be a matter of foul play and the person in charge that night was charged with arson. By 1868 there were 11 hotels in Deniliquin- eight in the south and three in the north of town. With a population of 300 adults, that was effectively one public house to every 25 persons. By 1870 the number of hotels had risen to 20. In fact, there were 34 hotels licensed between 1847-1878, although not all operated at the one time. Safe to say, there were ample opportunities to have your wet and get a hearty meal! Stories of these iconic hotels of yesteryear abound. Some well never know the truth of. Others make for a good yarn and for that reason, over the coming weeks well wind back the clock and tell a few of the stories of our many hotels. Many of which still operate to this day, serving up hearty food, a refreshing ale and good old country hospitality dating back clearly a verrryyyy long time! If youre lucky enough to be in Deniliquin tonight and happen to have had dinner at one of these long standing establishments, welcome to the next chapter of our history books! Enjoy! Ps. We searched high. We searched low. But alas we could not locate a photo of this founding hotel. If you have one, wed love to see it!!

20.01.2022 Legend of the Black Swamp’s haunted plains When the lands were wide and the fences few, uneasy was the stockman when the sun was down and his thousand char...ges scattered for miles around the camp fire... He would remember the story they were telling around Bourke... that the Headless Horseman was again haunting the plains at the Black Swamp near the border... From the mists of time a shadow emerged and a legend began On the flattest plains in the Southern Hemisphere, you can discover the legend of the Headless Horseman as part of The Long Paddock series of art sculptures. The Black Swamp hosted a coach changing station from 1859, when Edward Smith built a cottage as well on the low sandhill at the eastern edge of the swamp. Eventually he started the Black Swamp (Trotting Cob) Hotel that closed in 1887. These days though, the closest hotel is the Booroorban Hotel just up the road a little way. The Headless Horseman, created in metal by Castlemaine sculptor Geoff Hocking, is between Wanganella and Boorooban. In the mid 19th-century, drovers told stories of a headless horseman who appeared suddenly at a campsite, mounted and wearing a cloak, who would spook the animals and cause a stampede. It was said to be the ghost of a drover who died at the swamp. The legend of the Headless Horseman arose when a drover named Doyle died at the Black Swamp in the early 1850s. The drovers would tell of having seen the ghost of Doyle while they were camped at the swamp. They said Doyle was riding about the camp at night on a short-legged horse a trotting cob. Overlanders began to dread camping there, believing sight of the apparition spelled their own doom. He passed through the camp like a phantom, causing the cattle to rush and the dogs to shrink away ... terror would follow ... cattle, dogs, drovers all in a wild stampede. J.E.P Bushby Yet there’s more to this legend. The legend was perpetuated by a local butcher from nearby Moulamein, who was a small-time cattle duffer stealing from the herds camped at the swamp and selling his goods through the pubs across the district. His technique was to throw a cloak over a wooden frame on his shoulders, giving the appearance of the stump of a neck but having no head! Clever right!? The Headless Horseman sculptures are part of a Long Paddock series... 11 major art works and 52 information points along the route. Viewing The Headless Horseman sculptures at the Black Swamp at sunset is one of the great outback Australian experiences. This is one hell of a bucket list, must do, all Australian experience.

19.01.2022 WELL PLAYED MOTHER NATURE FLATTEST PLAINS, BIGGEST SKYS When you take a moment to really appreciate this place youll be delighted by the wildlife you... can spot, the amazing sky that seems to have never appeared larger and the vastness that is some of Australias largest and historically significant sheep stations The Hay Plains is - depending on the individual - either totally awesome, or incredibly boring. No surprises, we think its totally awesome! I mean, how could someone think otherwise? With undisturbed 360 degree views it is big sky country here. Literally! The best time for you to see what the Plains have to offer is at sunrise, sunset, during storms or even at night the stars, oh the stars. The skies out here can be truly breathtaking, so you better start dropping that jaw now in preparation. When its hot, its smokin hot out here. When its cold, it might as well snow. When its Autumn though, its a pretty perfect time to go driving! After a shower of rain (and lord knows we need a lot more of that!), the touches of green are like magic and usually mean youll get to see one of the drovers. Yep, the past time lives on here. After a rain theres more feed for the their stock, so on the road they go! Just remember that stock have right of way, so slow on up and let the ladies () cross the road. Actually, why not pull over and snap a photo. Guaranteed its not something your friends back home see every day (yep, bragging rights come easy out here!) Theres quaint country pubs which are like stepping back in time but serving up fresh ales youll be familiar with, not home brews of old! Quench your thirst, have a meal & settle in with the locals. Youll be entertained with their banter thats for sure. Theres even artist sculpture works dotted along the drive, courtesy of The Long Paddock touring route, which tell the stories of old and let you feel part of the next chapter. If you love this country we so dearly call home, if you crave the complete fullness that seemingly empty spaces can provide and want a true glimpse into the life of rural New South Wales... then the Hay Plains is where you need to go! Mother Nature... well played. Well played indeed. You sure waved your beauty wand here!

16.01.2022 W.A.N.G ... wanderer and nature-lovers getaway? Although the first Inn was opened in 1861, it wasnt until the year 1885 when Wanganella was procl...aimed a village. Wanganella never really followed the accepted order of growth noted in other early settlements. Usually, where there was a pub set up the presence of police became an urgent necessity... but it wasnt until 1909 that Wanganella got its first resident policeman. Those early pioneering days when the town had many an establishment and many more residents than it does today, were not without a humourous side. Its said that in 1864 Judge Blake, who was on his way to Hay, drove his horses onto the punt. Only thing was, seeing the creek was flooded at the time and someone had only loosely tied the punt to the bank ... the buggy wheels failed to make the deck of the punt but instead got wedged against the structure. The punt moved downstream before the Judge was rescued from his predicament. Safe to say, a few might have had a chuckle at his expense! Today though there are no inns, the punt is no more and the town is but small, its becoming a popular nature lovers and anglers getaway. If you just stick to the main Cobb Hwy, and dont pull off, youll never get to see just how beautiful this little gem of a place is. Driving over the main bridge, its hard to imagine the beauty beneath that is the Billabong Creek. With towering old river gums , level camping sites right on the creek , an anglers dream with calm waters and an array of wildlife (keep your eyes peeled for the resident turtles !) - its truly something special. Yes. The village is small. Some may even say tiny. But what it lacks in size is well and truly made up for in welcoming hospitality and natural beauty! If you seek a special kind of place thats hidden away from the hustle and bustle, has welcoming locals, riverside dining, peaceful serenity, perfect fishing conditions, ample wildlife and plenty of places to pitch your tent or stay in a cabin - then this might just be your ticket!

15.01.2022 The Wang store need bigger plates

14.01.2022 DOWN BY THE BILLABONG OFF THE BEATEN TRACK If you love exploring and getting a kick out of finding new places - this ones for you! ... Wanganella is packed full hidden gems to uncover. Seriously this little village, and the gateway to the NSW Outback, has far more than meets the eye. To truly appreciate it though, youve got to get off the main road and say hello to a dirt track or two. If you are driving from Deniliquin towards Hay, as you cross over the bridge and Billabong Creek, the very first road (dirt) to your left is well worth checking out. Theres no name so to speak for this road and you wont even see it on google maps either! Trust us though. This track leads to some stunning picnic spots, ripper fishing locations and is home to plenty of wildlife, so birdwatchers and nature lovers will definitely be in heaven The tracks are loads of fun to explore by bike. Winding along the creeks edge and through the forest, its a fairly easy trail for most fitness levels. Have no fear though, if you dont have a bike with you, they are equally beautiful to explore on foot or from the comfort of your car The reserve is also pet friendly, so bring your pooch along for the ride! The roads around here have come a long way since the towns first settlement back in 1864. So dont stress if you dont own a four wheel drive, youll be able to still explore this track. Just be careful after a rain, as dirt roads do become wet and slippery. After exploring the woods, checking out the weir or trying your hand at catching a mighty Murray cod - the best way to unwind is at the Wanganella Licensed Store. Simon and Kerry are always up for a chat, cook a darn good feed and knowing the region back to front, will happily share more hidden secrets and places to visit. This place is the very meaning of welcoming! Ps. Make sure you say hi to Georgia and Scout, the resident fur family too. Always up for a pat, these two are the stores welcoming committee and are just too cute for words Tip: Whilst here be sure to walk across the main bridge, which was actually opened officially back in 1970. Its only a few metres from the store, yep you have waterfront dining here, and gives a beautiful view down the Billabong! Photos: Em Crameri / Forest Media Photography

13.01.2022 HOW COOL IS THIS? Some students from Deniliquin High have popped in and transformed an ugly shed into a cute tiny house. Its great to see them getting involved... in public art. It looks magic up against the night sky and that fabulous fire which looks hot enough to warm your hands by. Unfortunately its not real and the weather is still freezing. Amazing what a few cans of paint can do. See more

11.01.2022 Stop at the Wanganella store

11.01.2022 COD SEASON - NOW OPEN The 1 December marked cod season opening across NSW. Yep. That means you can now catch and keep (size depending). The Billabong C...reek is a great spot to try your luck for a cod and also a known spot to catch a decent yellow. Top tip: try large lures or use baits such as yabbies, worms and freshwater mussels when fishing for Murray Cod. Bringing your boat or kayak? Launching and parking is easy with a mowed track down to the Billabong directly behind our cottage. There isnt a boat ramp here so to speak but you can launch without too much drama. Theres even a safe, off road place to park your boat and trailer right at our back gate. Alternatively, only 3 minutes away in the common reserve youll find a boat ramp to launch Happy fishing folks!

10.01.2022 Young Nate caught a Silver Perch this morning from the back of his Dads Tinnie on Billabong Creek. Well done Nate !!!

10.01.2022 FLATTEST PLACE ON EARTH The Hay Plains is one of the flattest places on earth second after the Sahara according to most locals. Although its closer... to the Danakil Desert in Ethiopia when it comes down to it! With only a 17 metre difference between the highest and lowest point on the plains, this is one of the flattest places in the world. No joke! Due to the flat, mostly treeless nature of the landscape the Plains are sometimes considered boring. Generally speaking though, anyone who says this just hasnt spent enough time appreciating whats there, and whats not. With undisturbed 360 degree views it is BIG SKY country. The skies out here can be truly breathtaking, so you better start dropping that jaw now in preparation! The best time to see the plains is at sunrise, sunset, during storms or even at night oh my, yep those starry skies are epic ! Its a heck of a place really and if you look out and up, youll appreciate this beautiful piece of Australia for what it is. Ps. Chickens still cross the road out there, so keep your eye out! Hot Tip: you head out for sunset, drop into the Pretty Pine Hotel on your way for a bite to eat & a refreshing ale. Denise cooks up a storm!

09.01.2022 THE SHEEP OF AUSTRALIAN FOLKLORE LIVING HISTORY Over 150 years ago the Peppin Family set out to breed a Merino sheep that could thrive at Wanganell...a. Whats now known as the Peppin Merino is a sheep of folklore that carried the country and generated enormous wealth for over a century! Today over 85% of the 150 million Merinos in Australia are linked to the Peppin strain. The achievements, the struggles and the amazing story of the Peppin familys contribution to the Australian wool industry is recognised and celebrated at the Peppin Heritage Centre Deniliquin. You could easily spend a morning exploring the Peppin Centre. Here you can uncover the rich history of the Peppin family and the long living contribution to the sheep industry by our Riverina farmers Many, many years on our region continues to be renowned for first class sheep and innovative farmers, and home to some of Australias finest sheep contracting teams. Our many local contractors travel Australia wide, upholding the high reputation that has become synonymous with the region. Its an industry were clearly very proud of! After a visit to the Peppin Centre, be sure to take a drive out to the village of Wanganella. With a monument and interpretive signage telling the stories of days gone by and many sheep stations still in operation throughout the region and along the drive to Wanganella - youll get a glimpse into the life of our current farmers and learn how it all began for the Australian Merino industry over 150 years ago. Beautiful landscapes? Australian heritage? Living history? Definitely worth visiting!

07.01.2022 #petfriendly #wanganellacaravanpark

06.01.2022 Hey! Were in Hay!!! Weve had a few dramas on the way, I think we might write a book.... After a very pleasant stay at Pretty Pine Hotel we left for Wanganella.... We were pulled up along the way by the owner of the Wanganella Creek caravan park who kindly offered the use of his 5 acre paddock and the amenities. From there we constructed a road train out of the wagons and headed for Booroorban. After a slight mishap we bent a shaft and ended up doing repairs at the pub. We towed the road trains from Booroorban to Hay via the 16 mile gums night yards. We have had a hectic day off in Hay with repairs to both wagons, a farrier visit to replace the shoes on the wagon horses and the usual washing and tidying. Tomorrow we are off towards Booligal. So far the horses are holding up well and we are still having a fairly good time. I will continue to update as service allows. I will upload photos when my phone decides it can communicate with the computer. Thanks for the support! See more

04.01.2022 EPIC AUSTRALIAN DRIVES The long open roads of the Hay Plains were built for a Mustang, something clearly demonstrated in its newest television commercia...l. You might have already seen the brand new Ford tv commercial recently shot in our region featuring not only Tara Moss but one heck of a beautiful car - the famous Mustang Those beautiful wide open Hay Plains, said to be some of the flattest plains on Earth, were the perfect location to highlight the car. Demonstrating not only the joy and freedom of driving in Australia, but just how special regional New South Wales is. The long, open roads not only allowed us to build some suspense with the Mustangs approach in the commercial, these roads also reflect the environments where current owners love to take their Mustangs for a drive ... these roads were built for Mustang. The campaign officially launched on May 19 and can be seen on many media channels, including television and social media. Havent seen it yet? Heres a sneak peak: https://youtu.be/Tpb-Kx4DkHY We know not many are fortunate enough to own a Mustang, but have no fear, no matter your transport mode - these plains are a must do, bucket list item. When it comes to epic Australian drives this is definitely up there with the best! Photos: Ford Australia

04.01.2022 THE CAPITAL OF SALTBUSH COUNTRY Saltbush Country was the name first given the area known as the Riverine Plain. Approx 26,000 square miles in extent, th...is arid and semi-arid region was formed by the sediment deposited by slow moving flood waters which drained the eastern highlands to the river Murray. Because of the saltbush which dominates the vast Old Man and One Tree plains, the area became known as the Saltbush Country, with the township of Deniliquin designated its capital. These days, saltbush is still a common sight around Deniliquin as it provides succulent high-protein green feed all year for sheep and cattle. As a deep-rooted perennial, old man saltbush has the added benefit of being able to use sub-soil moisture down to 5m. Very handy when it can be a bit of time between rains! The bush also provides shelter for sheep off-shears and is an effective windbreak to reduce soil erosion. A handy and hardy bush by all counts! Although no longer known as Saltbush Country or Deniliquin considered its capital, the bush from which it was first named is still a common sight. Driving the beautiful plains between Deniliquin and Hay, it certainly adds texture to the seemingly never ending landscape!
