  • Gwdir Shire Tourism Plan 2006 - 2011 1
    GWDIR SHIRE TOURISM PLAN 2006 - 2011 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Gwydir Shire is located on the western slopes and plains in north-western NSW. The Shire covers an area of 9122 square kilometres and lies between the New England Tablelands in the east and Moree - Narrabri to the west, and extends from the Bruxner Highway close to the Queensland border south to the Nandewar Range. The Shire has a population of 5,790 people. Warialda (population 1,750) and Bingara (pop 1,390) are the main towns within the Shire. These towns are located approximately 40km apart, with Bingara servicing the southern areas of the Shire, and Warialda the northern areas. There are also six villages, Warialda Rail (pop 100), Crooble (pop 40), Gravesend (pop 205), Upper Horton (pop<150), Croppa Creek (pop 120), Coolatai (pop 130) and North Star (pop 200). With the exception of Warialda Rail, the villages are relatively remote from the two main towns. The Shire draws its name from the Gwydir River which drains most of the southern and central areas of the Shire, with Bingara located on the Gwydir River, and Warialda on Reedy Creek, one of the larger head-water tributaries of the Gwydir. Bingara is located on the Fossickers Way, a tourist route that extends from Nundle near Tamworth north to Warialda and then east along the Gwydir Highway to Glen Innes via Inverell. The Fossickers Way between Tamworth and Warialda is located approximately mid-way between two major interstate arterial routes, the New England Highway to the east and the Newell Highway to the west, with the Fossickers Way being a viable scenic alternative to these highways.
