DAY 1 A day in the Narrabri Region
Explore the sights in and around the Narrabri Region.
•Gather your information, local souvenirs and climb aboard a real
cotton picker at the Narrabri Region Visitor Information Centre. •Unearth local history and culture at the Narrabri Old Gaol Museum, the Wee Waa Echo Museum, Boggabri Tractor Shed or Boggabri Historical Museum.
•Interested in fish rather than fishing? The Narrabri Fish Farm is an
ideal location for a tour or fun family day out.
•Satisfy your scientific curiosities with the most advanced radio telescopes in the Southern Hemisphere at the CSIRO Australia Telescope in Narrabri.
DAY 2 Top of the world
Spend the day high above the agricultural plains discovering ecological gems and uncovering secrets.
•Climb to the 1,512-metre summit of Mount Kaputar in the national park by the same name. Here, you will be treated to panoramic views encompassing a staggering 10 per cent of NSW.
•Experience an almighty wall of organ pipes without stepping foot inside a church. Sawn Rocks’ towering 40-metre-high pillars are undoubtedly the most iconic reminder of Mount Kaputar’s volcanic past.
•Connect with Aboriginal culture at the Deriah Aboriginal Area, which forms part of the traditional country of the Gamilaraay people. It contains numerous Aboriginal sites, evidence of trading and unique wildlife, plus offers spectacular views of the Nandewar Ranges.
•Rest your legs and observe more remote and inaccessible parts
of the Nandewar Ranges in the ultimate helicopter adventure.
DAY 3 Back to nature
Venture onto the road less travelled in the Pilliga Forrest, home to the 'Pilliga Yowie'. The scenery is unique and makes a trip into the scrub quite an adventure.
•Soak away those aches and pains in the 37-degree, mineral-rich
water of the Pilliga Artesian Bore Bath and Campground. •Wander the Salt Caves and hike the escarpment to the Pilliga Forest Lookout Tower, where you’ll be treated to a bird’s-eye view of vast swathes of wilderness.
•Discover the mysteries of the Sandstone Caves. The walking track circling the caves reveals indications of Aboriginal habitation inside these unique tunnels and formations.
•Take in the stunning view of Dandry Gorge while exploring the magnificent Sculptures in the Scrub walking trail, inspired by local Aboriginal history and culture.
