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!
Stay in Lachlan Shire, NSW, for outback allure, historical richness, cultural immersion, adventurous escapades, and captivating stargazing beneath pristine skies.
