Gwydir Country

Gravesend

NSW 2401 · Gwydir Shire

Gravesend is a western gateway stop: free camping at the recreation ground and at Ezzy’s Crossing on the Gwydir, a well-used general shop on Railway Parade, and weekday post office hours. Two bridges matter historically — a large early-1900s steel railway truss and a 1930 concrete road bridge. Anglers and birdwatchers use the river bends; March fishing classic and August campdraft are the headline events.
