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.
