Our Towns & Villages

Narrabri-location-map
Narrabri Region Local Government Area covers over 13,000 square kilometres and services many towns, villages and localities each with their own character. Discover our regional towns & villages by selecting a town on the map above or from the list below:

 

 

Narrabri

Narrabri

Narrabri is situated 560km north west of Sydney on the Kamilaroi Highway and 560km south west of Brisbane on the Newell Highway. The town's name means 'forked waters’, which aptly describes the splintering waterways you will see as you pass over the Namoi River, the Narrabri Creek and, finally, the creek's sub-branch, Horse Arm Creek.

Wee Waa

Situated 576km north west of Sydney on the Kamilaroi Highway, Wee Waa is the birthplace of Australia’s modern cotton industry. It is renowned as the oldest settlement along the meandering length of the Namoi River, bearing a history as unique and diverse as the area it encompasses.

Boggabri

Boggabri was proclaimed a township in 1860, but came into its own in 1882 with the opening of the railway. Today Boggabri, located on the Kamilaroi Highway east of Narrabri, is a historic small country town with big community spirit offering something unique for visitors and locals.

Pilliga

Situated 105km west of Narrabri, Pilliga got its start from the early development of the timber industry. Pilliga was once an important centre on the Cobb and Co route, but today is renowned for its Artesian Bore Baths.

Baan Baa

Located approximately 30km North West of Boggabri on the Kamilaroi Highway, Baan Baa had early beginnings as a squatting run. The Baan Baa pub is well worth a stop as are the local markets, held on the second Sunday of the month.

Maules Creek

Maules Creek is situated at the foothills of the Mt Kaputar National Park and is truly amazing countryside. The rugged and enchanting landscape hides a deep rich black soil and harbours some of the country's leading cattle studs.

Gwabegar

The location of this small village, deep in the Pilliga Forest, is key to its existence. Known as the “Heart of the Pilliga” it is roughly the geographical centre of the timber industries that grew and flourished in the Western Region of the Pilliga.

Bellata

Bellata, located 42km north of Narrabri on the Newell Highway, is a rich agricultural region known for its natural (minerals, such as petrified and opalised wood and agate) and its manmade (pasta) treasures.

Edgeroi

The village of Edgeroi is named after the famous Edgeroi Station. This station, from the early 1800’s until just after the Second World War, was one of the largest stations in North West NSW (150,000 acres).
