Narrabri Area

Narrabri Shire provides a wonderful mix of exciting places to visit, country hospitality and great restaurants and shopping.

Standing sentinel over the Shire is Mount Kaputar National Park. A feast of bushwalking, camping, magnificent views and native plants and animals await those who visit this ecological island. The park features Sawn Rocks, a 40-metre high basalt formation resembling a series of giant organ pipes.

Narrabri is home to The Australian Cotton Centre with interactive exhibits give a fascinating insight into Australia’s cotton industry, from field to fabric.

The CSIRO Australia Telescope is found just west of Narrabri. Six giant dishes scan the outer reaches of distant space, searching for the secrets of the Universe.

Wineries, Artesian spa baths, an Historic Wine Shanty and the Old Gaol Heritage Centre can also be visited (Saturday or Sunday). For the adventurous, group night tours of the Old Gaol are a popular pastime.
