NSW - WENTWORTH - GATEWAY TO OUTBACK NSW

Wentworth is considered the gateway to Outback NSW, and is situated on the junction of the Murray and Darling Rivers in south-western New South Wales. Mildura, situated on the Victorian side of the Murray, is the nearest commercial centre of any size.



Wentworth Shire offers an introduction to Outback Australia. It is a land of rivers, creeks and lagoons; of windmills, bores and waterholes. There are miles and miles of saltbush, acacia, casuarina and mallee, wide flat plains, drifting desert sands, red roads and cobalt blue skies.
