Brewarrina Area
This remote outback town on the Barwon River is famous for the Ngunnhu Aboriginal fish traps, ingenious stone structures believed to be thousands of years old and still clearly visible in the river. Grazing lands and ochre desert surround the settlement, and the wide river provides a lifeline for wildlife and people alike. Visitors can learn about local culture at the museum and join guided tours of the fish traps. Locals gather at a shaded spot on the riverbank downstream for fishing and yarns, and there is an unmarked track leading to a small gorge where weathered rocks bear ochre handprints left by ancestors.
Brewarrina Council has an approximate area of 19,000 km².
It is within the state electorate of Barwon.
