South of Moree, and north of The Pilliga in northern NSW, a town well worth a stop is Narrabri.
Take the Narrabri Region Visitor Information Centre, for instance. Not just your regular info centre, inside you will find a giant red cotton picker that you can climb into and “operate”! Our kids loved it, and still remember the experience.
The cotton display is a must do, you’ll also find local produce, local attractions – and when we were there last they produced a guide just for kids on the region. Very much appreciated!
More things to do in the area:
- Next to the car park is a Sporting Wall of Fame – as Narrabri was once name ‘Australia’s Sportiest Town’
- Walk or cycle around Narrabri Lake – there is a BBQ/picnic area and bring your togs and kayak
- Visit a fish farm – the largest aquaculture enterprise in NSW
- Walk into history at Narrabri Gaol and Museum, add in a self guided historical walk around town
- Mt Kaputar National Park due to reopen in March 2019 after fires
- Visit neighbouring Wee Waa and Boggabri (more historical walks here, ask at the info centre)
- Pilliga Forest
