Nature in Quirindi
Qurindi is famous for its vast fields of sunflowers which erupt in a blaze of colour between December and March. About 18 km north-east is Quipolly Dam, a flora and fauna sanctuary.
About Quirindi
Quirindi is located south of Tamworth in the heart of the Liverpool Ranges. This region is regarded as the richest agricultural area in NSW, supporting everything from olive plantations to rolling fields of sunflowers. You can experience authentic rural life at one of several farm stays in the area.
You can also explore Quirindi – the footpath of the historic Main Street has been stamped with Liverpool Plains' cattle brandings from the past century. Drop into the Quirindi Rural Heritage Village to get you started. Enjoy a stroll around the First Fleet Memorial Gardens at Wallabadah or spotting rare birds from the bird hide at Quipolly Dam.
