New South Wales

South West NSW and Riverina

This area of rolling plains has some of the best farming land in NSW. The area around Goulburn has been prime sheep grazing country since the 1820s and Goulburn itself is now a large and gracious city.

Another provincial town nearby is Yass, as well as Gundagai of ‘Dog on the Tucker Box’ fame. Further inland from Gundagai is attractive Cootamundra, birthplace of the esteemed cricket player Don Bradman.

Wagga Wagga is the largest inland city in NSW and the gateway to the Riverina district, so named because of the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers and their tributaries. The Murrumbidgee Irrigation Scheme, started in 1907, has transformed the area into Australia’s rice and citrus fruit bowl.

Two of the main towns in the Riverina, Griffith and Leeton, were planned by Walter Burley Griffin who also planned the national capital, Canberra. Other important Riverina towns are Narrandera and Hay.
South of the Riverina and on the Murray River is the border town of Albury which faces its twin town of Wodonga across the river in Victoria.

Westward along the Murray, many of the significant river towns are on the Victorian side although Corowa, Yarrawonga, Mulwala and Tocumwal are in NSW.
