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. Advance booking are essential and for more information, contact the Brewarrina Visitor Centre.
