Walgett

Walgett is a classic outback town in north-western New South Wales, set at the meeting point of the Namoi and Barwon Rivers. Known for its rich Aboriginal heritage, pastoral history, and connection to the surrounding artesian basin, Walgett offers travellers a relaxed and welcoming base for exploring the region.

Visitors can wander through town to discover local art, enjoy fishing along the riverbanks, or take a short drive to the nearby artesian bore baths for a naturally heated soak. The area’s wide-open landscapes, red-earth roads, and brilliant sunsets create the perfect backdrop for an authentic outback experience.

Blending culture, country hospitality, and natural beauty, Walgett is an ideal stop for those travelling between Lightning Ridge, Brewarrina, and the wider outback.
