The Murrumbidgee Shire Council invites you to explore the two towns in its area:

The historic town of Darlington Point is situated 3 kilometres north of the Kidman Way-Sturt Highway intersection and 30 kilometres south of Griffith. The Murrumbidgee River at Darlington Point has much to offer the tourist, with abundant bird and animal life and road access both upstream and downstream. Fishing, canoeing and bush walking are all activities that can be enjoyed at Darlington Point, along with golf, bowls and tennis.

The town of Coleambally, was established in a State Pine Forest in 1968, to service the Coleambally Irrigation Area, a major rice and cereal growing area in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area. The Bucyrus Erie Dragline excavator on display at the entrance to town is still in working order and is started at the Riverina Machinery Club Vintage Rally held biennially. The area is home to an extensive array of flora and fauna and is home to the threatened species, the Superb Parrot and the Southern Bell Frog.
