Ice skating and 'snow' is not what you'd expect to find in one of the hottest and driest regions of NSW, but that's exactly what's on offer in the remote community of Brewarrina every July.
The Brewarrina Blizzard is a free weeklong winter wonderland in the heart of outback NSW, with a full-sized ice rink, snow experience, food vendors and more, offering locals, surrounding regions and travellers an unforgettable experience that would usually be out of reach.
The Blizzard is open daily, offering free ice skating sessions, with skates and penguin skate aids included. Plus, there's plenty of food and drinks available and ample spots for mum and dad to sit back, relax and take in the action.
After you've hit the ice, take the time to delve into the rich culture, heritage and spectacular outback vistas of the region.
Just around the corner from the Blizzard, you'll find one of the oldest human construction on earth, the ancient Baiame's Ngunnhu. These remarkable stone fish traps, hold great cultural and spiritual significance, and are still used today. Discover more about this sacred site, and immerse in First Nation culture, with a tour of the Brewarrina Aboriginal Cultural Museum.
You'll also find breathtaking landscapes, prime river frontage, some of the best fishing in the state, and ample opportunities to escape into nature.
