LOCATED

Narrabri is located in mid-west NSW, around 530km north-west of Sydney and 580km south-west of Brisbane. The local indigenous meaning is ‘forked waters’ as there are three waterways that converge here.

CAMPING

There are a host of camping options within the shire depending on what you’re after. Narrabri has several great caravan parks, a host of motels and cheap camping at the local showground. If you prefer a little more solitude, head farther out of town to locations like Mount Kaputar NP, Yarrie Lake, the Pilliga Hot Artesian Bore Baths, or into the Pilliga NP.

ATTRACTIONS

After exploring the township and riverside walks, there are attractions for everyone within a 50km radius. Head to the east and spend several days in the stunning Mount Kaputar NP, where the walking trails range from easy to hard and provide views of volcanos and millionyear-old rocks. To the west, head out to the Pilliga NP and visit the sculptures in the scrub, relax in the Pilliga Hot Baths, enjoy a peaceful few days on the Yarrie Lake, and then head to the CSIRO’S Australia Telescope.
