About Barraba
Situated on the Manilla River, in the heart of the Nandewar Ranges, Barraba lies on the Fossickers Way. There is a diverse range of activities on offer, from exploring Mount Kaputar, an extinct volcano, to discovering the geological and fossicking area of the Peel Fault.
Other things to do in the area include fossicking for gold around Ironbark Creek, about 18 km to the east of town. Go exploring in the magnificent Nandewar Mountains or pitch a tent at Split Rock Dam and go fishing. The little village of Upper Horton, 11 km to the north of Barraba, is worth a visit.
