DESTINATION: NarromineA compact rural town on the southern bank of the Macquarie River, Narromine is located 40km west of Dubbo. The pastoral and wheat-growing country of the Macquarie Valley also produces cotton, citrus fruit, sorghum and vegetables (tomatoes and corn) as the area is so well irrigated. Main AttractionsThe information centre has many details on tours, including visits to Narromine Citrus-Packing Shed, Trangie Cotton Gin, Yates plant-breeding station, historic Narromine Aerodrome, and Auscott Cotton Gin and Cotton Fields. There is a self-guided tour following the Cobb & Co route. The centre also sells a range of clothing made from locally grown cotton. |
