Welcome to the Brewarrina Shire Council

 Brewarrina lies at that point on the Darling River system, where it is generally accepted that the Barwon River ends and the Darling commences. Throughout Brewarrina’s past, hunters and gatherers clustered along the banks of river system and built what is thought to be today the oldest man made structure in the world- the Aboriginal rock fish traps- estimated to be over 40’000 years old. 

Their are many guided tours on offer at the local Visitor Information & Cultural centre that are personally guided by local aboriginal people and explore the rich aboriginal culture of the Aboriginal Mission, Ochre beds and Hospital Creek  an experience not to be missed.

For the fishing enthusiasts, Bre ( as the locals call it) is a very popular area for huge Murray Cod, Yellow Belly, Brim and Catfish and that’s not hard to believe considering the largest officially recorded Cod was caught in the Barwon River near Brewarrina and weighed in at 113kg, that's over 250 pounds.  The pristine waters and abundance of fish present the angler with unrivalled opportunities at many easy accessible fishing spots along the river, including under the old Barwon Bridge – famous as being one of only two surviving examples left of the first series of lift span bridges in NSW.
