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!
