The Walgett Historical Society- a local group preserving and promoting historical information and artefacts. The Historical Society is in the original Walgett Shire Building, built in 1913.
It features a splendid example of the pressed tin interiors, believed to be the only example left in their area. Walgett means the meeting of two waters, and the Historical Society has an extensive display of photographs depicting life on the rivers, including paddle boat steamers and agriculture.
Frederick York Wolseley invented the first mechanical shearing machine and many other agricultural implements at Euroka Station. The society has a wonderful display of his inventions.
The Society has a vast collection of genealogical information, and members can assist with family history research on request.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
