Brewarrina Aboriginal Fish Traps

Come and see Brewarrina's famous National Heritage Listed Fishtraps. Brewarrina is well known for the 40,000 year old Aboriginal fishtraps which are located just below the weir in the Brewarrina township on the Barwon/ Darling River. This elaborate network of rock weirs and pools stretches for around half a kilometre along the Barwon Riverbed as built by the Ngemba people to catch fish as they swam upstream. The fisheries are still luring fish today as they did 40,000 years ago and the area is still a significant place for Aboriginal people. You are welcome to view the Fishtraps on your own, but for a more informative experience, join a Brewarrina Fish Trap Tour.

The Visitor Centre also helps to promote the wider region, which takes in Tibooburra, the Dog Fence, Sturt National Park, Cameron Corner, Farmstay Accommodation...

Australian Inland Botanic Gardens

The original idea of creating botanic garden came from scientists working with the Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) at Merbein. In 1983 a ,000 grant from the Elliot bequest enabled a committee to engage the services of John Wrigley OPA B.Sc. FAIPR, recognised as one of Australia's best authorities on botanic gardens, to develop a master plan and make recommendations. It took 5 years to select the site, acquire land, and obtain Government approvals and to raise money. 0,000 was raised initially from local support. Planting commenced in 1991. Unlike most botanic gardens, the AIBG is an incorporated body administered by a committee of management. Contributions from individuals, service clubs, state and local government's grants generate funds. In total the property consists of 2 parcels of land. 1. 42.3 hectares on the banks of the Murray River from which the garden's electric pump draws water to irrigate planted areas using computerised drip irrigation. 2. 110 hectares of undulating red loam over clay base, fertile soil on which was formally a sheep station. This area is divided into 2 almost equal parts of which the eastern half is currently under development as Stage One. Exotic plantings are grouped in beds by country of origin. An area is reserved for plantings of Australian natives from both arid and higher rainfall areas. The Gardens also feature a magnificent Rose Garden consisting of 1600 colour coordinated plants. Walking tracks are throughout the gardens - other features include a Saltwatch program, Nature Trail, Self-guided walks, and a Bush Chapel. The Magenta in the Gardens (historic shearing shed) is available to hire for functions ie wedding receptions, conferences, celebrations. The Sunraysia Farmers Market is held at the gardens on the first and third Saturday of every month from 8am til 12.30pm. No entrance fee - donations welcome...

Depot Glen Pooles Grave and Sturts Cairn

In 1845 Captain Charles Sturt and his expedition ventured into the region now known as the Corner Country. The region was in severe drought and the summer was unbearably hot. For several months the group camped beside a water hole in a rocky basalt glen, now known as Depot Glen. Many of the men were suffering from scurvy. By the time the rains finally came in July, James Poole, Sturt's second in command was very ill. He died just a few days after the expedition broke camp to continue their search for an inland sea. Poole's body was buried beneath a beefwood tree not far from their campsite at Depot Glen. Depot Glen, Poole's grave, and a cairn built by the men during their encampment form part of a privately owned sheep station known as Mt Poole. The sites are all accessible from the Hawker Gate Road, approximately 10 kilometres west of Milparinka. The sites are managed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (Tibooburra Area)...
