Sick of the traditional travel experiences and over-hyped tourist traps? It’s time to do something a little different this summer, and go beyond.

Beyond the usual holiday destinations and well-known attractions.

Beyond the crowded caravan parks and tired tourist tracks.

Beyond the places on the map you know by heart and don’t ever make it past.

Beyond what you have ever known or imagined.

Destination with a difference

When you open your imagination beyond these regular possibilities, you will discover an extraordinary warm and welcoming rural region, with a friendly sense of fun.

Where you’ll feel like family and discover amazing attractions and stunning rural scenery that will have you mesmerised and leave you wanting more.

That’s right, we’re talking about Warren.

Why Warren?

Located in the Orana region of Central Western NSW, this year’s most impressive undiscovered destination is only one hour’s drive north-west of Dubbo.

It’s the perfect place for Grey Nomads, Caravan Crusaders or 4WD Adventurers seeking Aussie towns that offer an authentic experience and the ideal family holiday destination for socially and environmentally conscious families searching for traditional holiday alternatives.

Authentic Agritourism

Famously known as ‘the last town with a bloke’s name for 200km,’ Warren Shire allows you to experience diverse agricultural industries from wool, sheep and cattle to cotton, wheat and canola, all within an authentic working environment.

It provides a chance to explore the start of the production cycle and allows you the opportunity to understand the true meaning of ‘from paddock to plate’.

The Wonders of Warren

Warren Shire is home to an incredible number of both man-made and natural wonders that are perfect for the day-tripper or anyone who wants to stick around a little longer.

Macquarie Marshes

One of the largest semi-permanent wetlands in south-eastern Australia, the Macquarie Marshes is the ultimate destination for any avid bird watcher, supporting over 200 bird species and showcasing some of the region’s most spectacular natural scenery. The new Burrima Walkway provides great accessibility to these natural wonders.

Window on the Wetlands

This converted historic church now operates as an education and training facility as well as a community space that features interesting cultural displays and Warren’s tourist information centre. Located next to the Tiger Bay wetlands, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee break before exploring the numerous species of birds and aquatic flora who call the wetlands home.

Nevertire Hotel and Collie Hotel

Enjoy small town hospitality at its best, with a side of Aussie bush humour thrown in! From Outback Laughs comedy nights at the Nevertire to yabby races and Kingswood Classics at the Collie, not to mention the amazing pub feeds, you can’t go past these two fun country pubs for entertainment and enjoyment.

Superb Sporting Facilities

Home to Carter Oval Youth Sports Precinct, Warren Shire boasts some impressive sporting and recreational facilities.

Take a dip in the Warren War Memorial Swimming Pool or channel your inner child at the recently opened Warren Splash Park. Try your luck at the Warren Skate Park or enjoy a day at the races at Warren Showground Racecourse: the Randwick of the West.

Buy From The Bush

Buy from the Bush founder, Grace Brennan, is a Warren Shire local. Relocating to the shire for love many years ago, she now calls Warren home from which she continues her crusade to showcase the incredible talents of people in bush communities.
