Carrathool Region

Comprising a handful of small towns along the Murrumbidgee River and vast tracts of pastoral land, Carrathool Shire epitomises outback New South Wales. The river sustains irrigation agriculture and provides shady camping spots, while the plains open up to wide skies perfect for watching storms roll in. The historic One Tree Hotel stands alone on the Hay Plain, a reminder of Cobb & Co coaching days. Residents love casting a line into a quiet backwater near Gogeldrie Weir and spending evenings under the stars at community barbecues where conversation flows as freely as the river.
