Walgett is found in outback northern New South Wales, located 691 kilometres north-west of Sydney. The town is known as the gateway to the opal fields, with Lightening Ridge situated just 78 kilometres to the north. The area was made famous in 1928 when the ‘Light of the World’ opal was found in fields nearby, weighing almost half a kilo. Walgett is the Gamilaroi word for ‘the meeting of two rivers’, named for its location at the junction of the Namoi and Barwon Rivers. The rich, fertile soil of Walgett Shire has made the region a successful producer of quality wheat, chickpeas, cotton and beef.The Walgett Primitive Camping Ground, located in Alex Trevallion Park, allows short-term parking up to 48 hours at no cost. A free dump point is located at the camping ground, along with potable water, toilets, bins, covered seating and barbecue facilities. Along with fossicking for opals, another popular activity is fishing for Murray cod and yellowbelly in one of the nearby rivers, so be sure to make Walgett a priority when visiting outback northern NSW. Tourist/Visitor Centre       Walgett Visitor Information Centre88 Fox St, Walgett NSWPh: 02 6828 6139www.walgett.nsw.gov.au Casual Parking       Walgett VIC, 88 Fox St, WalgettShort Term Parking           Walgett Primitive Camping Ground, Alex Trevallion Park, Castlereagh Hwy, (48hrs), nil cost, tlts, bins, c/seating, water, BBQ, pets on leadDump Point  Walgett Primitive Camping Ground, Alex Trevallion Park, Castlereagh HwyPotable Water          Walgett Primitive Camping Ground, Alex Trevallion Park, Castlereagh HwyHospital        141 Fox St, Walgett.

Cobram is situated on some of the most picturesque parts of the Murray River, 3.7 kilometres from Barooga, NSW and 37.6 kilometres from Yarrawonga, VIC. Towering gums, native bushland and a comfortable Mediterranean climate all make Cobram an appealing and unique holiday destination. The town has over 5,500 residents, with a further 1,000 or more living in the neighbouring town of Barooga. The area was settled in 1845 and growth was minimal until the 1880s when the railway was constructed, making the rural land more accessible. The land is now mainly used for dairy farms and fruit orchards and it is worthwhile visiting to sample some of the local produce.Those visiting Cobram can find short-term parking at Dead River Beach, (turn N off Racecourse Rd). A dump point and potable water can be found at Cobram Showground. Cobram is a wonderful place to visit, especially for those travelling in RVs. Discover the region on bikes, boats and canoes or simply take a stroll through the bush. You can try your luck fishing, or experience other attractions with expert guides leading you on a trail ride, canoe safari or river cruise. You can also relax on the wide sandy beaches of Thompsons Beach (claimed to be the largest inland beach on the Murray) or use it as a base from which to explore Quinn Island. Cobram has four championship golf courses and an abundance of quality health, recreation and community service facilities. Many of the businesses on the Farm Gate Trail are located in and around Cobram and Barooga and offer farm tours, mouth watering tastings and produce sales.Tourist/Visitor Centre       Cnr Punt Rd & Station St, Cobram VIC1800 607 607 or 03 5872 2132cbtinfo@westnet.com.auwww.cobrambarooga.org.au Casual Parking       Punt RdShort & Long Term Parking           Dead River Beach, turn N off Racecourse Rd; Toms Beach, E off Racecourse RdDump Point  Cobram Showground, Bank StPotable Water          Cobram Showground, 50m N/E of dump point, Bank StHospital        Broadway St, Ph: 03 5871 0777Doctors Surgery     Mivo Medical Clinic, 18 Hay Ave, Ph: 03 5872 2166; Cobram Medical Clinic, Charles St, Ph: 03 5871 1433Dentist           Cobram Dental Clinic, Charles St, Ph: 03 5872 1365Pharmacy     Paul Ukich Pharmacy, 28 Punt Rd, Ph: 03 5872 1143; Tozers Pharmacy, 69-71 Punt Rd, Ph: 03 5872 1154Supermarket            Ritchies Super IGA, 47 Bank St, Ph: 03 5872 2766; Safeway, 54-58 Punt Rd, Ph: 03 5871 2636
