Fun on a shoestring in Gwydir Country

Much of the best Gwydir day is free: Batterham Lookout, Myall Creek path, Warialda Creek birding, Coolatai bush edges, Gwydir River free camps (self-contained), Croppa sunsets and North Star silo skylines. Add one paid treat — bakehouse, Roxy ticket, Living Classroom bunk night — and you still beat city weekend costs.

Donate where camping asks; buy a meal where clubs keep villages alive.
