Gwydir Region
Stretching between the Western Slopes and the north‑west plains, Gwydir encompasses the towns of Bingara and Warialda, celebrated for their hospitality and outdoor recreation. The Gwydir River weaves through the district, lined with beaches and camping spots. Visitors pan for gold and precious stones in secluded gullies and paddle along calm stretches of river. Residents cool off at the emerald waterhole in Cranky Rock Nature Reserve and search the deep waters of Copeton Dam for the ancient fish species believed to have links to the age of dinosaurs.
Gwydir Council has an approximate area of 9,300 km².
It is within the state electorate of Northern Tablelands.
