Wentworth Area

Situated at the confluence of Australia’s two greatest rivers, the Darling and the Murray, the town of Wentworth is a good launching pad for fun on the water. Luxury houseboats, paddle-steamers and canoes are popular options, or you can watch the action from a riverside restaurant or winery.

Food and wine are big drawcards in the region, and there are several award-winning venues where you can sample the local produce.

Significant Aboriginal heritage sites are among the most spectacular in the country. The dazzling red dunes of Perry Sandhills date back to the Ice Age and have revealed animal bones from ancient times.

Further inland, the remains of Mungo Woman and Mungo Man were discovered in Mungo National Park. Mungo’s lunar landscape and Walls of China hills are arguably the most striking natural formations in NSW.
