A sacred indigenous meeting site, just a little bit west of the fish traps.

A museum that tells the story of the ancient and recent culture, which includes the telling of local artefacts, language, and fossils from the oldest continuous culture anywhere in the world. The place is quite underrated, but mainly due to its distance from major cities, unlike Stonehenge, where this is 10 times older than Stonehenge, but it's close to Southampton. While some might think you can catch dinner here, unfortunately due to the extensive effects of climate change on the Barwon, Darling and Murrumbidgee rivers in NSW, the fish here aren't safe to eat, and some are endangered due to the effects of climate change.

The age of these heritage-registered Aboriginal fish traps is unknown. It has been suggested that they are 40,000 years old, which would make them the oldest human construction existing today.
One of only two remaining lift span bridges in NSW that allowed traffic to cross over the Barwon River. When built in 1889, it was deemed very sophisticated, and it required two people to wind a pulley mechanism to lift the spans, but was later modified in 1913 so it only became a one person job. This bridge is one of the most important bridges in Outback NSW, as this led to the commercial development of the Outback NSW in North West New South Wales and opened up the so called "backcountry" in the 1800s. If you're camping by the river, sunset and photography of the milky way can really be nice out here. All you need is a camera.
While it may be a camping site, it's more popular for swimming and fishing. Many tracks will take you on to the beautiful reserves, where you can allow yourself to connect with the Barwon River. To get there, you need to go for a few kilometers by SUV on an unpaved road.
