This is a story of a meandering river – a life-giving waterway. Of a people coexisting with the landscape for thousands of years. It’s also a story of harvesting that same land – crops, livestock and minerals – to feed a growing nation.
This is a story of wheat. Of water. Of wings. Wonders. The Wiradjuri Nation. But most of all, it’s a story of discovery – one that invites YOU to unlock this Lachlan region and add your own memories here under big skies in the heart of NSW. Welcome!

Wiradjuri country
The Lachlan Shire Council acknowledges and respects the Wiradjuri as the first people and the Traditional Owners and occupants of this land and water.
We acknowledge their care for this land over many generations. And we pay our respect to their Elders past, present and future.
Discover Tottenham - the Soul of the Centre!
As you approach the town, be sure to glance up at the stunning water tower mural that graces the skyline. Completed in June 2023 by artists Krimsone and Scott Nagy, this mural beautifully captures both the town`s rich history and vibrant present.
Take a leisurely stroll around the charming township. Discover the local history, pop into the iconic Tottenham Hotel, or admire the murals on the Greig Bros Garage building.
